Calibration Editor Window

The MCS supports four different types of calibration objects that can be used in parallel. The attenuator, cable and preamplifier groups have no intrinsic semantics attached (the values are simply added to the Spectran readings), so you could use them for other equipment types as well. The antenna group may be treated special in unit conversions.

You can use the buttons to list the different object types in the list below.

Listing of the available objects of the selected calibration types. The topmost entry is the setting for “not attached”.

Create a new calibration object of the current type.

Remove the selected calibration object from the database.

The name under which the object will appear in the MCS.

A list of calibration values to be used at specific frequencies.

Remove the selected frequency and gain value from this object.

Import a calibration object from an external file.

Export a calibration object to an external file.

Shows a preview of the effect the current calibration object would have on a measurement. The frequency and value ranges are scaled automatically based on the available data. You can switch between a logarithmic and linear scaling for the value axis.
