Performing Measurement

Calibration

Follow these steps to perform calibration with the multiport test set connected:

Press Channel Next (or Channel Prev) key to set the channel that you want to calibrate to the active channel.
Follow Displaying the properties to display the multiport test set properties.
Perform the calibration. Check the corresponding multiport test set test ports shown in the calibration properties as the port names of the E5071C are displayed on the calibration menu, connect the calibration standard to the corresponding test ports of the multiport test set, and perform the calibration.

Making measurements with multiport test set is the same as E5071C standalone measurement. Perform operations by referring to Making Measurements.

The following table shows how the setting in the multiport test set is switched from when the trigger state is the stop state.

Trigger state	Switching the setting of multiport test set
Stop	The setting is not switched.
Trigger wait	The setting of the internal switch and the output of the control line are switched according to the setting of the channel swept first. The connections of the test ports and the output of the control line are switched according to the setting of the channel swept first.
Measurement	Measurement is performed following the procedure below. Execute a sweep for the first channel. Set the connections of the test ports and the output of the control line according to the settings of the channel swept second. Execute a sweep for the second channel. Set the connections of the test ports and the output of the control line according to the setting of the channel swept last. Execute a sweep for the last channel.
Stop or trigger wait	The setting is not switched for the stop state; it is switched for the trigger wait state.
