3. Connect the ECal or the mechanical cal kit to the ports you are calibrating following the
Cal Wizard prompts and press Measure after each connection.
4. At the Calibration Completed prompt select Save As User Calset, type the name and
Save. See Figure 32 on page 34.
5. After calibrating Test Set ports, use a quality load and short to verify the calibration on
each port or end of the test cable. Measure reflection and confirm the return loss is as
expected. If the result is not as expected, repeat the calibration without the Test Set and
ensure that the PNA is in standard (non-multiport) mode.
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 Option 551 firmware revisions and history.
