Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Write-only) Deletes the primary connector family name from the selected kit. The VNA allows multiple connector families for each kit. If a kit includes multiple connector families, only the first listed (primary) connector family name is deleted. Once the connector family is deleted, the connector may not be assigned to any new or existing standard within the kit. The previously defined standards retain their association to the deleted connector name. To reassign standards to a new connector family name, use SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:CONN:SNAMe. |

|
Parameters |
|
<char> |
Choose from: SYSTem - The system impedance is used as the reference impedance. During a Guided or Unguided Cal, the Z0 of the Cal standard's connector definition sets the System Z0. Make this selection when the desired test port impedance differs from the impedance of the LINE standard. Also, make this selection when skin effect impedance correction is desired for coax lines. LINE The impedance of the line standard is used as the reference impedance, or center of the Smith Chart. Any reflection from the line standard is assumed to be part of the directivity error. |

<char> |
Choose from: THRU The THRU standard definition is used to establish the measurement reference plane. Select if the THRU standard is zero-length or very short. REFLect The REFLECT standard definition is used to establish the position of the measurement reference plane. Select if the THRU standard is not appropriate AND the delay of the REFLECT standard is well defined. Also, select If a flush short is used for the REFLECT standard because a flush short provides a more accurate phase reference than a Thru standard. |
