On a N5222B FW A.13.20.10 can’t programmatically run a VMC Cal and specify the mixer characterization file as input. Works fine if I run the Cal manually. The SCPI command SENS:CORR:COLL:GUID:VMC:MIX:CHAR:CAL:OPT FILE,'C:\_Setups\Mixer.s2p' doesn’t seem to put the Cal Wizard in the correct state. Running the query SENS:CORR:COLL:GUID:VMC:MIX:CHAR:CAL:OPT? right after the FILE command returns “CKIT”. Is this a known issue and is there a work-around?
Hi PnaDude,
looks like you have found a genuine defect. We suspect that this error was introduced when we transitioned from our A model to B model firmware. I have submitted this defect and the team will be working to resolve it as quickly as possible. the fix will be in the next online release which you can find here when it is posted:
Keysight PNA Series: Firmware, Upgrades, and Support
the current version is A.13.50.07, so look for the next higher version number.
