Running a Calibration
Once the desired measurement state(s) have been configured, select the states
to calibrate by selecting each state’s Calibrate checkbox to select.
After selecting the states for calibration, select the Calibrate Checked Rows
button on the left panel. You should see the following message:
After ensuring that the RCal module is connected to the signal path, select OK
to start the calibration.
The following is a brief summary of what occurs during the calibration process:
— The RCal configuration software automatically prepares the signal analyzer
to control the RCal module for the calibration process.
— The signal analyzer reads relevant factory calibration data from the RCal
module to prepare for corrections.
— The signal analyzer makes measurements and calculates the difference
between expected and actual measurements.
— The differences are stored as corrections to be applied to a later
measurement.
Calibrations involving multiple states take longer to execute.
