 Network Analyzers using S4VNA software

User characterization of ACM is required when modifying ACM connectors with adapters. The characterization is performed for the new ACM configuration, which includes adapters. To ensure calibration accuracy, it is not recommended to disconnect and reconnect the adapters back after characterization until calibration is complete.

Before performing the user characterization of the two-port ACM, perform full two-port calibration of the Analyzer in configuration of the test ports compatible with the configuration of the ACM ports. If a four-port ACM is to be characterized, a full four-port calibration will be required.

Connect the ACM to the Analyzer test ports and connect the USB port of the ACM to the USB port of the PC.

Characterization User1

Select user characterization 1 to 3 using the Characterization softkey.

Orientation AUTO

Select a manual or automatic orientation for the ACM using the Orientation softkey.

It is recommended to select the AUTO orientation.

Characterize ACM

Perform characterization using the Characterize ACM softkey.

After the ACM measurement is completed, the following dialog box will appear:
