Installation Calibration
An Installation Calibration is recommended for most applications. The Installation
Calibration can be turned off and on as needed.
Important Notes:
• If power level control is required, perform an Installation Calibration.
• The Installation calibration should be done each time a change is made to the
physical configuration, i.e., a cable change, a change in a millimeter extender,
or a change in a PXIe module.
• The Installation Calibration characterizes the input/output power relationship
for each millimeter extender.
• The Installation Calibration results in a crude (± 5 dB) source power calibration.
• The Installation Calibration does NOT provide any calibration of the VNA
receivers.
• The Installation Calibration is applied system-wide. It can be enabled and
disabled, but only on a system-wide basis. It cannot be enabled or disabled on
a channel-by-channel basis.
In the Network Analyzer application screen, open the Millimeter Configuration window
by selecting Preset > Setup > External Hardware > Millimeter Config...
In the Millimeter Configuration window, open the Installation Cal Status window by
selecting Installation Cal... (see
Please note that the Model entry in the table column will always show Not Available, as
the banded mm-wave extenders do not have components to report model information
to the VNA. See
Once the calibration is completed, the calibration date will be updated with the current
date on your computer.
