:TDR ECal Commands

Command Syntax

:TDR:ADAPters:STARt

Description

For an ECal-based TDR calibration, starts the Add New Adapter wizard, which is required to specify an adapter that connects the ECal module to the TDR head. This wizard measures (or allows you to manually enter) the delay introduced by the adapter. Use the :TDR:ADAPters:DSPec command to specify if the adapter's delay value is manually entered or measured. To assign the adapter to either the ECal module's A or B port, use the :TDR:CALibration:DUT:ECAL:ADAPters:A and :TDR:CALibration:DUT:ECAL:ADAPters:Bcommands.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.04.00 and above.
