Response Error Correction for Transmission Measurements
1. Press .
2. Select the type of measurement you want to make.
❏ If you want to make a transmission measurement in the forward direction (S
21
), press:
or on ET models:
❏ For ES analyzers, if you want to make a transmission measurement in the reverse direction (S
12
),
press:
3. Set any other measurement parameters that you want for the device measurement: power, number of
points, IF bandwidth.
4. To select a response correction, press:
5. Make a "thru" connection between the points where you will connect your DUT.
NOTE Include any adapters or cables that you will have in the device measurement. That is,
connect the standard device where you will connect your DUT.

6. To measure the standard, press:
The analyzer displays WAIT - MEASURING CAL STANDARD during the standard measurement. The
analyzer underlines the
softkey after it measures the calibration standard, and computes the
error coefficients.
NOTE Do not use an open or short standard for a transmission response correction.
