With the FieldFox line of products gaining better and better VNA performance(Just saw the new B models) have you considered adding the more advanced ECAL options to the firmware?
A very useful feature appears to be missing - end user characterizations. It would also be nice to support the ECAL confidence checks.
I have an N9918A and an N4691B. As my N4691B has two female connectors the end user characterization would be very useful.
Thank for you letting us know of your request. We'll look into adding those features. You may already know this but if the ECal is user-characterized using a PNA or ENA, that characterization can be used on FieldFox; it just can't be generated on FieldFox today.

Thank you for reply reply Afsi.
If the ECAL has a user-characterization saved will the FieldFox prompt to use it instead of the factory calibration? I would think(hope) the ECAL would use the factory cal by default.
The default is the factory Cal, but you are given a choice to select one of the user cals. See attached image.
Thank you Afsi, that is good to know. Now I just need to find someone with a compatible VNA 26.5 GHz local to me. And hopefully at some point Keysight adds in user characterizations to FieldFox firmware.
