The VNA Cal Kit editor can open the following types of Cal Kit files:
VNA Families |
File Type |
Current VNA Series Cal Kits |
*.xkt (default with VNA, PNA A.10.00 and above) *.ckt *.ckx |
Old VNA Series Cal Kit (before PNA A.07.50) |
*.ck1 |
8510 Cal Kit |
.CK_* |
8753, 8752, 8719, 8720, or 8722 Cal Kit |
*.ck |
Current FieldFox Cal Kits |
*.xkt |
Previous FieldFox Cal Kits |
*.xml |
The current revision of Cal Kit files can be downloaded at http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/caldefs/stddefs.html
The VNA Cal Kit Editor can save Cal Kits in three formats:
*.xkt - An XML-based format, supported by multiple VNA families (the default format).
*.ckt - VNA binary format - can be read by VNA and PNA Rev. A.07.50 and higher. This format is provided for backwards compatibility with older PNA firmware revisions and may not support future new Cal Kit capabilities like the *.xkt format is expected to.
*.prn - Cal Kit print files. This is a text file format which can be read into spreadsheets, but the Cal Kit Editor does not read-in these files, it only produces them as a form of documentation.
With the exception of *.xml, the above file types are automatically associated with the CalKit Editor if they are not already associated with a different program. That means, after running CalKit Editor, double-clicking any of the above file types (except *.xml) will open the file using CalKit Editor.
If you have already associated one of these file types with a different program and would like to change it to CalKit Editor, do the following:
Right-click the file, then click Open With
Browse to the CalKitEditor install folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Agilent\VNA Cal Kit Editor
Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.
Select CalKit Editor.
