In 1-port calibration, calibration data are measured by connecting an %/0#

standard, a &%2$ standard, and a '%3 standard to the desired test port. $his

calibration effecti"ely eliminates the freuency response reflection tracing error,

directi"ity error, and source match error from the test setup in a reflection test

using that port.

EFor the first part of the experiment you can use the standards to "erify that the

calibration is done by connecting the standards and checing the "alues read

from the &mith *hart.

E ou can sa"e your data by pushing the &a"e)2ecall button at the I#&$2

&$$0 part. nd selecting &a"e $race 3ata from the touch-screen. ou can

name the trace as you lie by selecting Input from the front panel from the

touch-screen. $he sa"ed data can then be processed in a software lie 7atlab.

ou can sa"e your data to a flash memory from D&;.

E$o sa"e an image you ha"e to select &ystem>?3ump &creen 3ata and that

will sa"e the image as E.bmp format. ou can name the image as you lie by

selecting Input from the front panel from the touch-screen. ou can sa"e your

image to a flash memory from D&;.

E hile you are sa"ing a measurement it may be a good idea to select

$rigger>?&ingle as this will freeze the measurement. fter you are done

reselect $rigger>?*ontinous.
