Label Class Menu

The label class menus are used to dellne meaningful labels for the calibration classes. These
then become softkey labels during a measurement calibration. Labels can be up to ten
characters long.

This ::U#l#L%JtT softkey within the modify cal kit menu, provides access to this menu. It
is identical to the label class menu and the label standard menu described above. It allows
deilnition of a label up to eight characters long.
After a new calibration kit has been dellned, be sure to specify a label for it. Choose a label
that describes the connector type of the calibration devices. 'Ihis label will then appear in the

Verify performance

Once a measurement calibration has been generated with a user-dehned calibration kit, its
performance should be checked before making device measurements. lb check the accuracy
that can be obtained using the new calibration kit, a device with a well-deiined frequency
response (preferably unlike any of the standards used) should be measured. The verification
device must not be one of the calibration standards: measurement of one of these standards is
merely a measure of repeatability.
lb achieve more complete verification of a particular measurement calibration, accurately
known verification standards with a diverse magnitude and phase response should be
used. National standard traceable or HP standards are recommended to achieve verifiable
measurement accuracy.
