Using The Auto Port Extension Function - Agilent Technologies ENA Series User Manual

Optimizing Measurements
Setting Port Extensions and Loss Values

Using the auto port extension function

The auto port extension function measures port extension and loss values for each port
using the OPEN/SHORT standard connected to the port, automatically calculates them,
and set them.
When the auto port extension function is completed, the port extensions and loss values are
updated to the calculated values.
NOTE You can use both open and short measurement values in the auto port extension function.
Note that in this case, the average value of the calculation results is used for updating.
NOTE You can set the auto port extension function channel by channel. Setting the auto port
extension function for one particular channel does not affect other channels.
NOTE When the sweep type is power sweep or the frequency offset function is ON, the auto port
extension is not available.
