For 2-port measurements:
NOTE
With a Normalization Cal, all subsequent insertion loss measurements are made
relative to the insertion loss of the THRU cable. For example, if you use a cable
with 1 dB of loss, then after Normalization, the display will show 0 dB of loss
with this cable in place. Therefore, for highest accuracy, when measuring the
DUT also attach the cable that was used in the normalization cal.

From the Choose Calibration screen (page 52), press
following screen:
The top box shows the properties of the current calibration that you performed
and the displayed S-parameters that it is correcting.
The bottom box shows the S-parameters that are displayed but NOT corrected by
the current performed calibration, but rather the CalReady calibration. Learn
more about CalReady on page 52.
Calibration Type
The FieldFox simplifies the calibration process by recommending the most
accurate and efficient calibration type based on the displayed S-parameters.
