Learning to Make Transmission Measurements
Step 2. Perform a measurement calibration
1. Disconnect your test device from the analyzer.
2. Connect a “thru” between the measurement cables, as shown in Figure 2-3. Include all
the adapters that you will use in your device measurement.
If noise reduction techniques are needed for the measurement, the instrument's
settings (reduced IF BW, and /or averaging) should be selected prior to any
error-correction.

3. Press the following keys to make a transmission response calibration:
4. To save the error-correction (measurement calibration), press:
5. Next, choose from the following options:
• Choose if you want to save the calibration results and
instrument state to the analyzer's memory.
• Choose if you want to save the calibration results and
instrument state to the disk that is in the analyzer's internal disk drive.
• Choose if you want to save the calibration results and
instrument state to the disk that is in an (optional) external disk drive that is
configured to the analyzer.
6. Press to save the error-correction (measurement calibration).
NOTE Example procedures for all types of error-correction (measurement
calibrations) are located in the “Calibrating For Increased Measurement
Accuracy” chapter in the User's Guide. For information on the analyzer
operation during error-correction (measurement calibration), refer to the
“Operating Concepts” chapter in the User's Guide.
