How to Perform a Calibration

NOTE Press Esc at any time to end the calibration process.
 In CAT, NA, or VVM Mode, press Cal 5 .
The following appears:
Choose Calibration Method screen
Response Cal – Used to quickly calibrate ONE measurement using mechanical
standards. Measurement accuracy is generally low. Learn more on page 70.
Quick Cal – Using built-in cal standards and CalReady, quickly and accurately
calibrate measurements when using a jumper cable or adapter to connect the
DUT to the FieldFox test ports. Learn more on page 66.
Mechanical Cal – Using mechanical cal standards from a cal kit, perform an
accurate calibration at one or both test ports, adapters, or jumper cables. Full 2-
port mechanical calibration is the most accurate calibration available with
FieldFox. Learn more on page 68.
User Cal OFF ON – Turns ON and OFF the effects of the user calibration that
you performed. The OFF state reverts to CalReady which can never be turned
OFF.
View Cal – Shows the properties of the current calibration. Learn more on page
73.
More – Learn about Cal Ready Properties on page 78.
NOTE Source Unleveled errors - During calibration, the frequency range of the
measurement MAY be extended to provide maximum flexibility. During the
calibration, the output power may become unleveled at the added high
frequencies. You can ignore the "Source Unleveled" error, or to avoid the error,
select either High power or -15 dBm before calibrating. Learn more about setting
Output Power on page 25.

QuickCal

QuickCal is ideal for a quick and simple calibration of the measurement when
using a jumper cable or adapter to connect the DUT to the FieldFox test ports.
QuickCal corrects for phase shift, time delay, and loss of adapters or jumper
cables.
