Assuming proper usage, the residual return loss after calibration specifications for
the sliding load termination includes the quality of the airline portions within the
sliding load, combined with the effective stability of the sliding element. Proper usage
includes the following practices: (1) Connector mating surfaces are clean; (2) The
changes in slide positioning are NOT done in equal steps — equal steps results in very
poor calibration for some portions of the frequency range; (3) The center conductors of
testport connectors are nominally set back from the outer conductors. Sliding loads are
designed to allow the center conductor to be moved. The position of the sliding load
center conductor should be set by a reference block and not positioned flush against
the center conductor of the testport.
c.
The 2.4 mm to 2.92 mm adapters are tested two at at time (connected together) at the factory.
d. The specifications for the opens and shorts are given an allowed deviation from the nominal
model as defined in the standard definitions (see

Residual Errors after Calibration
The 8510 "Specifications and Performance Verification" software can be used to obtain a
printout of the residual errors after a calibration has been performed. Refer to the
"Specifications and Performance Verification" section of the 8510 On-Site Service Manual
for information on how to use the software.
Certification
Agilent Technologies certifies that this product met its published specifications at the time
of shipment from the factory. Agilent further certifies that its calibration measurements
are traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
to the extent allowed by the institute's calibration facility, and to the calibration facilities
of other International Standards Organization members. See
