Defining Parameters For Standards - Agilent Technologies E5071C Manual

E5071C
21. For example, standard 1 for the 85033E 3.5-mm calibration kit is a
SHORT standard.
Standard type
The type of standard used to classify a standard model based on its form
and construction. Six standard types are available: SHORT, OPEN, LOAD,
delay/THRU, Unknown Through, and arbitrary impedance.
Standard coefficient
The numeric characteristics of the standard used in the selected model. For
example, the offset delay (32 ps) of the SHORT standard in the 3.5-mm
calibration kit is a standard coefficient.
Standard class
A group of standards used in a calibration process. For each class, the user
must select the standards to use from the 21 available standards.
Subclass
You can register up to 8 standard types. This capability lets you specify a
different standard for each frequency range. You must assign standards to
subclasses you use.
