To export cal kit data, the analyzer uses a specific binary file format *.calkit.
• Three different import file formats are supported: ZVA-specific binary cal kit files (*.calkit),
ZVR-specific binary cal kit files (*.ck), cal kit files in an Agilent-specific ASCII format (*.csv).
By default cal kit files are stored in the C:\Rohde&Schwarz\NWA\Calibration\Kits directory.
To import a ZVA-specific or ZVR-specific cal kit file (*.ck or *.calkit) you can also use
the Windows Explorer and simply double-click the file or drag and drop the file into the
NWA application. The imported cal kit file is automatically set active.
Importing older ZVR cal kit files
On loading some older ZVR-specific *.ck files, e.g. the ZV-Z23 cal kit file, the ZVA generates the
message File does not comply with instrument calibration kit file format. The files must be converted
using a ZVR network analyzer equipped with a firmware version V3.52 or higer. Proceed as follows:
9. On the ZVR, press CAL – CAL KITS – MODIFY KITS – INSTALL NEW KIT to import
the *.ck file.
10. Press CREATE INST FILE in the same submenu to export the *.ck file in a ZVA-
compatible format.
11. Import the converted file into the ZVA.
Generating *csv cal kit files: VNA Cal Kit Manager 2.1
The VNA Cal Kit Manager is a free, Windows-based software tool intended to import, edit, and export
*csv cal kit files. The software is available for download at http://www.vnahelp.com/products.html. The
decimal separator used by VNA Cal Kit Manager V2.1 depends on the language version of the
Windows operating system: Cal kit files generated on an English operating system contain dots, the
ones generated on a German system contain commas.
The network analyzer expects the dot as a separator and displays an error message when a *.csv file
with commas is loaded. Please install the VNA Cal Kit Manager V2.1 on an appropriate (e.g. Englisch)
Windows version to avoid trouble.

Add or View / Modify Calibration Kit
Combines different standards to form a new calibration kit, assigning a connector type and further
attributes (name, labels). This dialog is opened from the Calibration Kits dialog (Add Kit... button, the
dialog title is Add Calibration Kit) or from the Select Cal Kit... dialog (the dialog title is View / Modify
Calibration Kit). The functionality of both dialog versions is the same.
If Add Calibration Kit is used for a predefined calibration kit, the View / Modify Standard... button
can be used to open the View / Modify Standard in <kit_name> dialog check the standard
parameters. All other controls are inactive.
