6. Calibration and
Compensation
4. How to select the table range for executing the calibration
Select the table range for executing the calibration by making the appropriate setting in the
Select Calibration Table area of the Calibration Dialog box window.
If you select Active table only, compensation will only be executed for the measurement
point table (active table) selected in
“2. How to select the measurement point table” on
page 135.
If you select Calibrate all tables, compensation will be executed for all measurement point
tables.
5. How to measure open calibration data
Measure the open calibration data as follows:
Step 1. Connect the open standard (0 S) to the coaxial terminal on the tip of the test head as a
calibration reference plane.
Step 2. Click the OPEN button in the calibration window and measure the open calibration data.
Step 3. Remove the open standard from the test head coaxial terminal.
6. How to measure short calibration data
Measure the short calibration data as follows:
Step 1. Connect the short standard (0 Ω) to the coaxial terminal on the tip of the test head as a
calibration reference plane.
Step 2. Click the SHORT button in the calibration window and measure the short calibration data.
Step 3. Remove the short standard from the test head coaxial terminal.
7. How to measure load calibration data
Measure the load calibration data as follows:
Step 1. Connect the load standard (50 Ω) to the coaxial terminal on the tip of the test head as a
calibration reference plane.
Step 2. Click the LOAD button in the calibration window and measure the load calibration data.
Step 3. Remove the load standard from the test head coaxial terminal.
8. How to measure DC open/short/load calibration data
When you want to use the dedicated open/short/load standard to measure DC resistance
(Rdc), follow these steps to execute additional DC open/short/load calibration.
Step 1. Connect the DC open standard to the coaxial terminal on the tip of the test head as a
calibration reference plane.
Step 2. Click the DC OPEN button in the calibration window and measure the DC open calibration
data.
Step 3. Remove the DC open standard and connect the DC short standard.
Step 4. Click the DC SHORT button in the calibration window and measure the DC short
calibration data.
