Step4 : Making a calibration

Performing a Response Calibration

Note
4-6 Quick Start Guide
To ensure accurate measurement results, calibrate the analyzer before
making a measurement. Calibration reduces error factor due to
uncertainty. In this example, you perform the response calibration to
cancel a frequency response error. A THRU (BNC female-to-female
connector) is necessary to perform a response calibration for the
transmission measurement.

Press THRU . The THRU softkey label is underlined when the
measurement is completed.

DONE:
Disconnect the THRU and reconnect the DUT.
\ Cor " is displayed on the left side of the display to show that the
frequency response error is corrected.
The measured value is now corrected for the frequency response
error.
If the trace is changed, it requires an adjustment of the scale. Perform
the automatic scaling again by pressing
