A window showing the current source \screenshot{1.0}{SourceCalibration.png} These are the necessary steps: \begin{enumerate} -\item \textbf{Set up the calibration frequencies:} Add or remove points according to your needs. Ideally, they should be evenly spaced across the range to calibrate, maybe with a slight emphasis on higher frequencies (signal levels generally vary more at higher frequencies). Additionally, it is advisable to set one point at \SI{25}{\mega\hertz} and one just below (at \SI{25}{\mega\hertz} a band is switched, resulting in an amplitude discontinuity). Up to 64 points can be used. +\item \textbf{Set up the calibration frequencies:} Add or remove points according to your needs.

Up to 64 points can be used. \item \textbf{Select the calibration mode:} Either calibrate both ports separately (best accuracy but more work) or assume that they are identical and use the measurement at one port for both. \item \textbf{Perform the calibration:} For each frequency and port, select the corresponding cell in the table. The \vna{} will generate a signal at the selected frequency and port with (what it thinks are) \SI{-20}{\dBm}. Use external equipment to determine the actual output level and enter the measured value into the selected cell. \item \textbf{Save the calibration:} Once all measurements have been taken, the "Save to Device" button becomes available. There is no way to save intermediate results, you have to calibrate all frequencies you have chosen in step 1.
