For the 4287A, the electrical lengths (from 7-mm terminal to DUT connection plane) of the
test fixtures 16191A, 16192A, 16193A, 16194A, 16196A, 16196B, and 16196C are
registered in advance. When you use the tip of the 7-mm terminal of the test head as a
calibration reference plane and connect any of these test fixtures to the tip, you can execute
port extension compensation by selecting the test fixture model number.
When you want to connect an unregistered test fixture of our manufacture or your own test
fixture and cables to the tip of the calibration reference plane, it is necessary to perform the
following steps to register the name and electrical length of the device before starting
calibration and compensation.
