U3042AE12 Controlling the Test Set with N5242A or N5230C
N-Port Calibration with N5242A or N5230C
It is recommended that you perform an ECal characterization to minimize the connections
required for multiple port calibration. The N4691B Option M0F is recommended with
cable (85131F) if you are calibrating at the PNA and test set ports.
Characterize the ECal module with adapters that will not be used in the measurement of
the DUT.
Calibrate at the end of the test port RF cables and any adapters that are used to connect
the DUT. This removes the effect on the measurement of the DUT. Failure to do this will
create ripple and other measurement errors.
NOTE If measurement errors occur, ensure the newest version of firmware is
installed on the PNA. Measurement errors can be a result of firmware
algorithms. Consult with Agilent Service or firmware web page for the latest
PNA, PNA-L or PNA-X Option 551 firmware revisions and history.

1. On the network analyzer select Response > Calibration Wizard.
a. If using a mechanical cal kit, select SmartCal.
b. If using an ECal module, select ECal.
