How to Characterize Adapters
3. Select the appropriate adapter characterization category ("In-Series, Same-Sex" or "All
Others") and calibration kit(s).
4. Follow the program prompts to perform the characterization.
When the characterization is complete, save the adapter file using the default .TXS file
extension. Since the characterization file is in Citifile format, you can import the data and
make a visual check of the quality of the characterization. Select File > Import > Citifile >
and open and inspect the adapter characterization file.
