Introduction
This chapter provides information for calibrating the 2-port versions of the VectorStar MS464xB Series VNAs. This calibration chapter is organized in the sequence of the menus and dialog boxes that control the various types of calibrations. Due to the numerous permutations of instrument calibration ports, AutoCal™, manual calibration, calibration methods, line types, and connectors, only a small subset of calibrations are shown.
The CALIBRATION menu is not available when using the Spectrum Analysis application.
