Verifying the A, B, C, D, and R Traces (Standard S-Parameter Mode)

The first step is to verify that the A, B,C, D, and R traces are present and that they are approximately level:
• Connect an Open or Short standard from a mechanical calibration kit to each test port (use adapters if
necessary).
• Press UTILITY System
• For 2-port analyzer models, traces A, B, R1, and R2 are displayed in four separate data windows as
shown in Figure 4-7. Identifying discrepancies of the traces in these windows can help you to isolate the
faulty assembly.
