Step 4: Obtain and Install Coaxial Shunt Resistor De-Embedding File
Annual Characterization of the Coaxial Shunt
The Keysight PD1000-61901 Coaxial Shunt requires annual characterization;
return the Shunt to a Keysight Sales and Service Office for characterization. A list
of offices is available at:
After the shunt is characterized, Keysight will return the shunt to you. This
provides the latest characterization .tf2 file. Download the file from the Keysight
Infoline website and install it in the DSOS104 oscilloscope.
Obtain the Shunt De-embedding file
Whether the initial installation or installation of the de-embedding file after
characterizing the shunt, the process is the same:
1 Locate the Coaxial Shut Resistor Serial Number located on the side of the
2 Go to Keysight Infoline Support Portal: www.keysight.com/find/infoline.
3 Enter the shunt's product (model) number (0960-3431) and its serial number
4 Select Calibration Documents tab.
5 Select the Certificate Number (for example, KEYSIGHT-AES-3965040).
6 Click the "shunt ".zip file. It is a simple ASCII text file with a .tf2 file extension.
7 Unzip the file to a temporary location.

0960-3431 is the Keysight part number for the uncalibrated shunt itself. If you need to order additional shunts, order Keysight part
number PD1000-61901. This includes a characterized shunt, mounting bushing, serial number, and installation instructions.

shunt resistor housing. The shunt's product number is: 0960-3431
(for example, 0004). Click the Go button.
This file contains the de-embedding information for the Coaxial Shunt
Resistor with the specified serial number. The file name includes the shunt's
serial number, for example: 0004.tf2.
