:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COEFficient:PORT Subsystem – Simulation
The :SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COEFficient:PORT subsystem commands are used to simulate a instrument calibration on 2-port or 4-port VNA instrument so that a set of user-defined calibration parameters can be input using the :SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COEFficient <char>,<block> command. Note that this subsystem does not perform an actual calibration.
Calibration Simulation Subsystems
These subsystems are used to create a calibrated state in the instrument which is followed by adding the required error correction coefficients for the required calibration type. If this approach is used, each error correction coefficient is entered by separate commands. Simulated calibration subsystems are:
Calibration Type Abbreviations
The calibration abbreviations and their calibration types are:
• :1P2PF refers to a one-path two-port calibration forward direction
• :1P2PR refers to a one path two port calibration reverse direction
• :FULL1 refers to a full one port calibration
• :FULL2 refers to a full two port calibration
• :FULL3 refers to a full three port calibration
• :FULLB refers to a full one port reflection calibration on both ports
• :FULL4 refers to a full four port calibration
• :RESP1 refers to a one port response calibration
• :RESPB refers to a one port response calibration both ports
• :TFRB refers to a transmission frequency response calibration both directions
• :TFRF refers to a transmission frequency response calibration forward direction
• :TFRR refers to a transmission frequency response calibration reverse direction
Each calibration simulation type command is described in greater detail in the individual command descriptions below.
Related Query
These commands set the Calibration Type. To query which Calibration Type has been set, use the command:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:TYPe?
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COEFficient <char>, <block>
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COEFficient? <char>
Description
Sets the values for a single calibration correction coefficient such as ED1. The command identifies the coefficient name and then the coefficient data for a calibration on the indicated channel. Separate commands are issued for each required correction coefficient.
Returns the values of a correction coefficient of the calibration on the indicated channel.
