From firmware A.09.10, functionality related to adapter waveguide and
adapter rotation is added. Adapter waveguide length and Cut off frequency
can be set using the following commands:
SCPI.SENSe(Ch).CORRection.COLLect.ADAPter(Pt).WAVeguide.LENGth
SCPI.SENSe(Ch).CORRection.COLLect.ADAPter(Pt).WAVeguide.CUToff
Coaxial length can be set using Cal > Calibrate > Adapter Removal >
Coaxial Length
Rotate command executes Adapter Removal/Insertion along with moving
the phase of adapter (which is removed or inserted) to 180 degrees. This
command is useful in cases where auto judgement of phase fails. This
command can be executed several times while the calibration remains
valid.

• System Z0 should be changed to 1 ohm before calibration when
using waveguide calibration kit and measuring waveguide
devices.
• Some calibration kits such as the waveguide calibration kit have
operational frequency range defined by Minimum and Maximum
frequency. When the E5071C stimulus setting is out of the
operational frequency range, you cannot click Done key or
finish the calibration by remote control. In this case, use a
calibration kit that has proper frequency range, or change the
E5071C stimulus setting to proper range that the calibration kit
can cover. Refer to the calibration kit manual or definition in the
E5071C with Cal > Modify Cal Kit > Define STDs for the
Maximum & Minimum frequency of the calibration kit.
Performing Adapter Waveguide Calibration
This section provides an example of performing adapter waveguide
calibration to perform a Full 2-port calibration plane between Port 1
(3.5mm) & Port 2 (P-band wave guide).
