Question: Optimization calibration & {D] & [V] boxes characterization

[Tomo Yokoyama]

1) Optimization CAL

Does this numerical approach compute a new set of error terms after each iteration?

Or just compute the error terms once using the definitions entered in calibration configuration file?

2) [D] & [V] in database

Are the characterized values for  D (Error term Drift) and V(switch term drift), to be entered in VNA setting from 'Drift' tab?

* How can I characterize [V] term?

* Do I need to estimate [D] drift terms  for a calibration method, e.g. SOLT?

Or do I need to another look with different CAL methods?

Thanks for your time

Make a measurement series of type drift a measure multiple times the drift terms.
