The analyzer generates and stores factors in internal arrays when a measurement

error-correction (measurement calibration) is performed. These factors are known by the

following terms:

• error terms

• measurement calibration coefficients

The analyzer creates error terms by measuring well-defined calibration devices over the

frequency range of interest and comparing the measured data with the ideal model for the

devices. The differences represent systematic (repeatable) errors of the analyzer system.

The resulting calibration coefficients are good representations of the systematic error

sources. For details on the various levels of error-correction, refer to the "Optimizing

Measurement Results" chapter of your analyzer's user's guide. For details on the theory of

error-correction, refer to the "Operating Concepts" chapter of your analyzer's user's guide.
