[:SENSe]:CORRection:COLLect[:ACQUire] <cal steps>, <port_no>
[:SENSe]:CORRection:COLLect[:ACQUire]?
Description: Performs a measurement of the given steps. <cal steps> is the
calibration step to be performed and must be one of the following
values:
OPEN|SHORT|LOAD|
THRU|ISOLation
<port_no> is the port number, 1. For calibration step OPEN, SHORT,
and LOAD, valid port number is 1. For calibration step THRU and
ISOLation, valid port number is 1 for Fwd.
Note that the calibration step must be valid for the given calibration
type and calibration method. Refer to Table 5-6 for a list of valid
calibration steps for each type and method.
The query version of this command returns a string that consists of the
last calibration step measurement that was performed followed by the
port number. The calibration step and port number are delimited by a
comma. Note that if no calibration step has been processed, then this
command returns the string “NONE, 0”.

Calibration Steps and Calibration Types
For each calibration Type, Table 5-6 lists the allowable calibration steps and port_no to be
used in command [:SENSe]:CORRection:COLLect[:ACQUire] <cal steps>,
<port_no>. The calibration steps are different for each calibration Method, and the port_no
is different for each calibration Type. For example, for calibration Type RFP1 and calibration
Method SOLT, the allowable <cal steps>, <port_no> settings are “OPEN,1”,
“SHORT,1”, and “LOAD,1”. The steps that are not allowed are indicated by “—”.
