Step 2. Press [Save/Recall].
Step 3. Press
Recall State, then the softkey corresponding to the register from which you want
to recall the instrument state.
Copying the Test Set Cal.
The E5061A/62A lets you temporarily save Test Set calibration data only for each
channel and copy it to another channel. When the same calibration data is used in
multiple channels, you can reduce calibration time by using this method instead of
doing the same calibration multiple times. The procedure is as follows:
Step 1. Press [Channel Next] or [Channel Prev] to select the channel for which you want
to save calibration data temporarily.
Step 2. Press [Save/Recall].
Step 3. Press
Save Channel.
Step 4. Press one of
Cal Only A through Cal Only D.
NOTE An area with an asterisk (*) to the right of Cal Only x contains saved data already. If
you press the key, the previous calibration data is deleted and new calibration data is
written over it. In this case, the previous calibration data cannot be restored.
Step 5. Press [Channel Next] or [Channel Prev] to select a channel to which you want to
copy calibration data.
Step 6. Press [Save/Recall].
Step 7. Press
Recall Channel.
Step 8. Press
Cal Only x in which you have saved calibration data to read it out.
NOTE Only keys for which saved data exists are active.
Executing Self Cal
The SelfCal timer feature allows you to set up your multiport system to
automatically perform a SelfCal at a user-defined interval. The default interval is 60
minutes. Your environmental conditions and accuracy requirements may dictate
either a shorter interval or allow a longer interval.
