Calibration standard
Calibration standards are precision physical devices that serve as a calibration standard for the Analyzer.
Calibration standards have their own specific type (see Types of Calibration Standards), gender (see Gender of Calibration Standards), impedance, and definition.
The description of connector parameters is provided in Connectors Library. The detailed information about standards included in the calibration kit are provided in Standards Management in Calibration Kit.
Calibration standard definition is a mathematical description of its parameters (see Standards Definition). During calibration, the Analyzer measures standards and mathematically compares the results to the definitions of those standards. The comparison results are used to determine errors in the measurement system.
Calibration standard class is an application of the standard in a specific calibration method. For a detailed description of calibration standard classes, see Classes of Calibration Standards. A calibration standard belongs to a single class. Detailed instructions for assigning classes to standards in a calibration kit are provided in Classes Management.
Calibration standards can be combined into a calibration kit.
Calibration Kit
A calibration kit is a set of calibration standards with a specific connector type and specific impedance.
The Analyzer provides definitions of calibration kits produced by different manufacturers. The definitions of the calibration kits can be added, and the predefined kits can be modified.
The calibration kit editing procedure is described in Calibration Kits Management.
