Available Microstrip Kits
The available microstrip kit parameters are:
MIL10 = Standard 10-mil (0.010” or 0.25400 mm thick) microstrip
MIL15 = Standard 15-mil (0.015” or 0.38100 mm thick) microstrip

USERx = User-defined microstrip 1 through 32 (e.g., USER5, USER23)
Using User-Defined Microstrip Kits
User-defined microstrips (USER1 through USER8 above) can be defined through the menu-driven user interface by entering six values:
Microstrip Kit Label = Defaults as “User-DefinedN” (where N = 1 to 8) and can be changed as required. Programmatically, the each user-defined microstrip kit name must be still referred to as the appropriate “USERn” parameter.
Strip Width (mm). Programmatically, the width is entered in Meters.
Impedance (Ohms)
Substrate Thickness (mm). Programmatically, the thickness is entered in Meters.
Substrate Dielectric Value
Effective Dielectric Value
Query Output
Returns the microstrip kit selected for calibration on the indicated channel.
