Autocal PXIe 5630

[GhostCole]

Hey, 

I would like to have some informations about the Autocal kit of the VNA PXIe 5630 (781589-01) : 

- Is it better or/and faster than the manual one

- Component of the kit itself 

- advantages refering to the "normal" calibration 

- Is this the only thing I'll need for the "autocal" of the vna ?

I'm using the "K calibration kit model 3752L" on the VNA NI PXIe 5630 

Thanks

Ossan,

The Automatic Calibration kit will automate the calibration process compared to the manual kit.  This results in faster calibration times, repeatibility and less chance for human error. The process is described here.

Also, the exact steps of calibration of both calibration kits is shown here so you can compare the differences between the two:
