Correction:Calibration:Thru:Method Property

Short Name: Thru Method

Property of RFmxVNA

Specifies the Thru calibration method when Calibration Method property is set to SOLT.

The default value is Auto.

Auto (0)

Measurement selects the appropriate Thru calibration method based on the value of Calkit Type property specified by you. If Calkit Type is Electronic, then Delay Thru Using Defined Thru is selected. If Calkit Type is Mechanical, then Undefined Thru is selected.

Defined Thru (1)

The Thru definition from calkit definition is used based on the value of Calkit Type property specified by you. If Calkit Type is Electronic, the Thru definition from the electronic calkit EPROM is used. If Calkit Type is Mechanical, the Thru definition from the calkit definition file is used.

Flush Thru (2)

Indicates a direct connection of the test ports when Calkit Type is Mechanical. The measured Thru is treated as flush Thru ignoring the Thru definition from the Calkit file. This method is not supported when Calkit Type is Electronic.

Undefined Thru (3)

Indicates connection of a Thru without a stored definition when Calkit Type is Mechanical. The measured Thru is treated as unknown Thru ignoring the Thru definition from the Calkit file. If a delay is configured, the delay will be utilized for the calibration. This method is not supported when Calkit Type is Electronic.

Undefined Thru Using Defined Thru (4)

The Thru from the electronical Calkit is used for Thru measurement but treated as unknown Thru in the calibration, that is, the definition of the Thru is being ignored. This method is not supported when Calkit Type is Mechanical.

Delay Thru Using Defined Thru (5)

The Thru from the electronical Calkit is used for Thru measurement. For the calibration only the inherent delay information from the Thru defnintion is used. This method is not supported when Calkit Type is Mechanical.
