4 System
4.6 Alignments
NOTE
Connect the RF In of the primary module to the OUT port (COMMON, PORT 1)
of the combiner.
NOTE
Before performing Path Delay Calibration of Sources, please confirm that:
–
NOTE
Each of the RF Out ports is connected to the RF In port of the Primary
channel, using an RF combiner.
–
NOTE
The cables between the combiner and the Source output ports are of the
same length.
NOTE
A pop-up window appears (as shown below); press OK to continue calibration.
NOTE
If the is in MIMO sync, and you send a SCPI command to run Calibration, the
calibration process is not executed and instrument a warning is generated (“-
221,Setting Conflict; Calibrations are not available while MIMO Sync is On”). To
execute Calibration, you must first stop MIMO, manually or via SCPI.
Remote Command
:CALibration:PDELay:SOURce
:CALibration:PDELay:SOURce?
Example
:CAL:PDEL:SOUR
Notes The query initiates an Alignment and returns 0 if successful, or 1 if failed
If the calibration process detected a faulty state, an error will be generated: “Misc/System Alignment
Failure”. Calibration will be aborted. Please see event log for more information:
1.
Cables are not connected
2.
Power control failure
3.
Hardware failure
4.
M9300A 10MHz reference open failure
Dependencies Only appears in VXT models M9410A/11A
Only for modules with matched Digital board hardware version, which means the modules are in same
FPGA version
