Operations
Calibration and Compensation
After completing measurement point setting, perform calibration and compensation
NOTE Calibration and compensation are carried out at the same point as the normally set
measurement point; therefore, the measurement point setting should have been completed
before calibration and compensation.
The following description uses the “wizard” function, which ensures easy execution of
calibration and compensation
by displaying clear and simple guidance.
Low-loss capacitor calibration, port extension compensation, open compensation, and
short compensation in addition to open/short/load calibration
are explained in the
measurement
examples below.
The definition of the calibration kit and compensation kit remains the same as that in the
presetting phase.
