[SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:DATA  
'SCORR1' | ... | 'SCORR12' | 'G11' | ... 'G22' | 'H11' | ... | H22'

Writes or reads system error correction data for a specific channel <Ch> and calibration method ([SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:COLLect:METHod). The analyzer test ports 1 or 2 are implicitly specified with the correction terms. The setting command can be used to transfer user-defined correction data to the analyzer; the query returns the current correction data set. ASCII or block data can be transferred, depending on the selected data transfer format (FORMat[:DATA])

Use the generalized command [SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:COLLect:CDATa to transfer calibration data for arbitrary analyzer ports.

<Ch>

Channel number of the calibrated channel. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.

 

Error term parameters

String parameters describing the different error terms, depending on the current calibration method; see table below. Each term contains one complex value (real and imaginary part) for each sweep point.

Range [def. unit]

The error terms consist of dimensionless complex numbers. The parameters must be transferred in full length and have the following meaning:

'SCORR1' – Directivity at port 1
'SCORR2' – Source match at port 1
'SCORR3' – Reflection tracking at port 1
'SCORR4' – Forward isolation between port 1 and port 2
'SCORR5' – Load match at port 2
'SCORR6' – Forward transmission tracking between port 1 and port 2
'SCORR7' – Directivity at port 2
'SCORR8' – Source match at port 2
'SCORR9' – Reflection tracking at port 2
'SCORR10' – Reverse isolation between port 2 and port 1
'SCORR11' – Load match at port 1
'SCORR12' – Reverse transmission tracking between port 2 and port 1
'G11' ... 'G22' – G matrix elements
'H11' ... 'H22' – H matrix elements

The analyzer provides a default calibration corresponding to a test setup which does not introduce any systematic errors; see [SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:COLLect:SAVE:DEFault.

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query

After a system error correction in one of the sweep types Power, Time, or CW Mode, the query returns two sets of correction data, corresponding to the fixed CW frequency and the CW frequency plus 1 Hz (minus 1 Hz if the CW frequency is equal to the maximum frequency of the analyzer).   

 

Example:

See [SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:COLLect:SAVE:DEFault.

CORR:SST?

Query the calibration status. The analyzer returns 'CAL OFF' (because the performed one-port calibration is not sufficient for the measured transmission S-paramter S21).
