To Create Compensation Data File

This section explains how to create the compensation data file. To perform the
capacitance compensation, enter the file name of the compensation data file to the
User Compensation Data File field of the Extended Configuration dialog box
opened from the Switching Matrix tab screen of the Configuration window.
1. Create a text file (e.g. C:\temp\c_data.txt) that contains the information as shown
below.
• For B2200A/B2201A:

C3L 1.140000e-01
The 15th line specifies the used switch module, B2210A or B2211A.
The 16th line specifies the DUT interface, PCIF or CABLE. PCIF indicates
that Agilent B2220A probe card interface is used. CABLE indicates that the
connector plate is used.
The lines C2H to C3L should be modified for each measurement
environment. See Table 3-9. Do not modify the other lines.
EasyEXPERT provides the template of the compensation data file for the
B2200A/B2201A. See Table 3-11. Select and use the template suitable for your
measurement environment.
