- 2 minute(s) read
Stores the S-parameter table from the S2P file in the calibration plane specified by the selectorString parameter. S-parameter tables are used for fixture de-embedding. On a MIMO session the S-parameter table is stored for each MIMO port in the specified calibration plane.supporteddevices: PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860
If there is only one table configured in any calibration plane, it is automatically selected as the active table.

Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| selectorString | string | Specifies the calibration plane name in which the external attenuation table is stored. This input accepts the calibration plane name with the "calplane::" prefix. If you do not specify the calibration plane name, the default calibration plane instance is used. Note Example:"""calplane::plane0""calplane::plane0/port::if0""port::if0""calplane::plane0/port::all"For PXIe-5830/5831/5832 devices, port names should also be specified along with Calplane names. Hence, the valid selector is "calplane::<calplanename>/port::<portname>". If you specify "port::all", all ports are considered configured. For a MIMO port, the valid selector string is "calplane::<calplanename>/port::<devicename>/<channelnumber>/<portname>". If you specify "port::all", all MIMO ports are considered configured. Use RFmxInstr Get Available Ports method to get the valid port names. Use RFmxInstrMX.GetAvailablePorts method to get the valid port names.</portname></channelnumber></devicename></calplanename></portname></calplanename> |
| tableName | string | Specifies the name to be associated with S-parameter table within a calibration plane. Provide a unique name, such as "table1" to configure the table. |
| s2pFilePath | string | Specifies the path to the S2P file that contains S-parameter table information for the specified port. |
| sParameterOrientation | RFmxInstrMXSParameterOrientation | Specifies the orientation of the data in the S-parameter table relative to the port you specify. |
Returns
Returns the status code of this method. The status code either indicates success or describes a warning condition.
