Materials Required

Calibration and
Frequency Ranges
Table 4-1
The following materials are required to run the tests:
•
8510XF system with accessories
•
85059A 1.0 mm Precision Calibration and Verification Kit
•
PC-based, 8510 Specification and Performance Verification Software
(Rev. A.05.00 or greater; p/n 08510-10033)
•
Laptop or PC running BASIC for Windows (3.1/95/NT)
(Rev. 6.3 or greater)
•
GPIB Card for PCs (National Instruments or HP)
•
PCMCIA Card for Omnibook or laptop
•
GPIB cable from PC to 8510XF
The 8510XF requires separate verifications for frequencies below and above
50 GHz (see on "Frequency ranges" on page
A special two-band calibration procedure is required for the performance
verification of the 8510XF system (a measurement calibration is not
sufficient). There are up to three different calibrations and corresponding
frequency ranges required, which are stored in suggested locations in the
8510 analyzer (Refer to Table 4-1 on page
to the section on "Frequency ranges" on page
calibrations are set up automatically on the analyzer by the performance
verification software.
