3. Set any other measurement parameters that you want for the device measurement:
power, number of points, IF bandwidth.
4. To select a response correction, press:

5. Make a "thru" connection between the points where you will connect your DUT.
NOTE Include any adapters or cables that you will have in the device measurement.
That is, connect the standard device where you will connect your DUT.
