Refer to the following sections for the calibration procedure of each device connection:
• “A. Calibration When Using Direct Connection Type Test Fixture” on page 133
• “B. Calibration for Four-Terminal Pair, 1-m Extension” on page 135
• “C. Calibration for Four-Terminal Pair, 2-m Extension” on page 137
• “D. Calibration When an Exclusive Fixture is Connected to the 42942A” on page 139
• “E. Calibration When the 7-mm Port of the 42942A is Extended” on page 141
• “F. Calibration When a Probe Adapter is Connected to the 42941A” on page 143
• “G. Calibration When the 3.5-mm Port of the 42941A is Extended” on page 145
For the three calibration methods, refer to the following sections:
• “User Calibration” on page 147
• “Port Extension Compensation” on page 150
• “Fixture Compensation” on page 151
D. Connect the 42942A
directly to the four-terminal
pair port of the 4294A, connect
a dedicated test fixture to the
7-mm port, and then connect
the device to the fixture
contacts.
