VectorStar™ MS464xB Series Microwave Vector Network Analyzer Programming Manual : SCPI Commands : :SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:METHod Subsystem
 
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:METHod Subsystem
The :SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:METHod subsystem command sets the calibration method for the indicated channel. When configuring the instrument calibration this option must be set first, generally followed by line type, and finally calibration type. Optionally, these commands are followed by coefficient and characterization commands for user-defined calibration devices and kits.

:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:METHod?
Description
Sets the calibration method for the indicated channel. The following calibration methods are available:
• AUTOcal = Automatic Calibrator (AutoCal) Module calibration method using Anritsu 36585-Series Precision AutoCal Modules
• ACLIght = Automatic Calibrator (AutoCal) Module calibration method using Anritsu 36581-Series Standard AutoCal Modules.
• LRL = Line-Reflect-Line calibration method
• LRM = Line-Reflect-Match calibration method
• SOLR = Short-Open-Load-Reciprocal calibration method
• SOLT = Short-Open-Load-Through calibration method
• SSLT = Short-Short-Load-Through calibration method
• SSST = Short-Short-Short-Through calibration method
• BBCal = Broadband Cal: Merged Short-Open-Load-Through/Reciprocal (SOLT/R) and Short-Short-Short-Through/Reciprocal (SSST/R)
Note that the type depends on where the breakpoint is set. Sometimes it could be just SOLX, SSST or a merge of both.
• MTRL = Multiline Thru-Reflect-Line calibration method
• TRX = Thru-Reflect-Line/Match calibration
• MSSS = Multiple Offset Short calibration method
Returns the calibration method for the indicated channel.
