VVM Calibration

In VVM Mode, calibration is performed in the same manner as in CAT and NA
Modes. In summary, a Preset Cal is sufficient when the DUT is connected
directly to the FieldFox RF Out test port. When using an adapter or jumper
cable to connect the DUT, first perform a QuickCal + Load or OSL Cal before
making measurements. Learn more about these FieldFox calibrations from
Chapter 7, "Calibration for NA, CAT, and VVM Modes", on page
To make an accurate measurement, set

Zeroing

When performing a Cable Trimming operation, one cable is compared to
another. After measuring the first, shorter cable, pressing Zero performs the
same operation as Data->Memory, then Data/Mem, also known as
Normalization. All subsequent electrical length measurements are relative to
the stored measurement.
To make an accurate measurement, set
changing the IF Bandwidth.
