Transmission Frequency Response Calibration Setup
The exact composition of the menu depends on the settings made on the CAL SETUP, CAL METHOD, and LINE TYPE menus and on the resultant TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY REPONSE CAL SETUP dialog box. A representative menu is shown below. There is one example procedure of a Trans. Response calibration in this chapter.

Modify Cal Setup
Select displays the CAL SETUP menu where the Edit Cal Params button provides access to the TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY RESPONSE CAL SETUP dialog box for the selected calibration method and line type.
Read-only display of the ports selected for the pending calibration.
Completion Menu Buttons
For this example menu, the Thru/Recip and Isolation (Optional) buttons link to completion submenus where additional calibration procedures are performed.
For example, the Thru/Recip button (shown below at #1) links to the THRU/RECIP submenu. As each procedure is completed, the submenu button is marked with a completion checkmark. When all the procedures on the submenu are completed, use the Back button to return to the TRANS. RESPONSE menu.
The Thru/Recip button (shown above at #2) is now marked with a completion checkmark.
Thru/Recip
When selected, displays the THRU/RECIP menu. When all tasks are complete, return to the TRANS. RESPONSE menu.
Isolation (Optional)
When selected, displays the ISOLATION menu. When all tasks are completed, return to the TRANS. RESPONSE menu.
Done
This button is unavailable until all calibration tasks have been successfully completed. When available, select the button to return to the CALIBRATION menu when the Cal Status is set to ON.
