Configuration Table Overview
The RCal configuration table is where you define the measurement parameters for your RCal
correction. The table is initially empty. Click on
Insert Row below
, or
Use Current Meas
1
(located at
the top of the configuration window), to start populating the table.
The simplest and fastest configuration option is to define one, single state (row). If you anticipate
the need to make measurements that involve changing the analyzer’s state, you can provide ranges
within a row or define additional rows within the same Cal Group. Calibrating for multiple states will
require a longer calibration time, but allows for the RCal to match a wider range of states.
Rows
A row contains a collection of settings or ranges for RCal operation. A row is linked to the analyzer’s
settings or “state” which can be viewed as an internal path through the analyzer. The row with a
blue border is active for editing. To change the active editing row, use the
Go to Row
button or
touch/click within the desired row. The
Insert
,
Duplicate
, and
Delete
buttons operate on the active
row.
Columns
The columns contain the state settings or ranges that RCal needs for calibration. Some column
groups allow you to define a range of settings; e.g.
Frequency
and
Attenuation
have
Start/Stop/Step parameters. Other columns contain On/Off settings or provide a drop-down table
of options, such as for
IF Path
or
μ
W Path Ctrl
. If you want to calibrate more than one of these
choices, add another row and select each alternative in separate rows.
1. Use Current Meas automatically populates the Cal Row using parameters from the current X-Series Signal
Analyzer application. This feature is supported by the Signal Analyzer mode and many others, but it is not
supported by every X-Series Signal Analyzer application.
Not all columns fit on the display screen. Use a finger or mouse to grab
the scroll bar (just below the bottom of the active row) and scroll to the
left, or right to see all columns.
