Line Delay and Line Length
These two settings are for the same parameter, one in distance, and the other in equivalent
time. They represent the length of the Thru device that is used during the calibration.
Because the length of the Thru device is not always zero, these soft keys allow you to set any
additional length that the Thru uses during the calibration that it will not be using during
the actual measurement. When you are using a reciprocal calibration method, setting the Line
Length or Line Delay to zero prompts the instrument to calculate this length.
