These commands, along with the standard Guided commands, performs a SMC calibration on a frequency converting device.
Note: These commands replace the SENSe:CORRectionCOLLect:Session:SMC commands. These commands allow the entire SMC cal to be performed from the Guided cal interface.
These commands are also used to perform a GCx Calibration. See an example.

Applicable Models: All with SMC Options (S9x082A/B, S9x083A/B) (Write-only) Imports Guided Power Cal or Phase Reference Cal into the current SMC calibrations. For the Guided Power Cal: The port of the mixer input must have the same source attenuator setting between the SMC channel and the Guided Power Cal Set. The frequencies of the Guided Power Cal must include all the mixer frequencies. Interpolation will be applied to the Guided Power Cal frequencies if they do not exactly match. For the Phase Reference Cal: The port of the mixer input must have the same source attenuator setting as used in the phase reference cal. The phase reference cal must include all the mixer frequencies. Interpolation will be applied to the phase reference cal frequencies if they do not exactly match. Learn more about Phase Reference Cal. The following error message may appear (it is not written to the VNA Error Log):
