Verifying the A, B, C, D, and R Traces (Standard S-Parameter Mode)

• Connect an Open or Short standard from a mechanical calibration kit to each test port (use adapters if 
necessary).
•  Press UTILITY  , then  , then  , then   .
• For 2-port analyzer models, traces A, B, R1, and R2 are displayed in four separate data windows as

faulty assembly.
