Question
I had a look at the SETUP => ALIGNMENT menu and found a softkey labeled
SELF ALIGNMENT. What can I do with it?
How to use SELF ALIGNMENT.
Answer
SELF ALIGNMENT is a tool that creates and uses internally stored
correction data. It helps to maintain the measurement accuracy of the
FSL.
A self-alignment should be performed at regular intervals to eliminate drift
due to aging or temperature. For optimum results, we recommend that you run
a self-alignment only after an appropriate warm-up time.
During self-alignment, the program switches the input to an internal, very stable fixed frequency signal source
to derive alignment or correction data.
This procedure compensates any drift and optimizes the FSL.
The self-alignment feature is not a replacement for a certified calibration
performed by a Rohde & Schwarz service center.
