Cal Kit Model

By convention, cal kit labels in the analyzer indicate the sex of the port

with which they are used. For example, the default cal kit for the

analyzer is type-N female because the front panel RF ports are female

(the calibration standards, in turn, have male connectors).

Calibrating for Insertable Devices

When measuring a through-standard during calibration, the test ports

normally mate directly together. For example, two cables with the

appropriate connectors can be connected directly without a

through-adapter, resulting in a zero-length through-standard. An

insertable device is a device that can be inserted in place of a zero-length

through-standard. It has the same type of connector on each port, but

with a different sex, or the same type of sexless connector on each port

(APC-7, for example).
