Locked Re: Correct button?


 

You are correct and I confirmed on the big box, that is the function performed.

This turns CAL ON or OFF. Again, I suspect hp as well others, added this function as an aid to be sure the correction data sets make sense as a corrective measurement is conducted on a component. Its much easier to do this then preset the instrument and have to do a complete re calibration.

Good suggestion and it does appear to toggle in that manner.

Now, I have to think why I would toggle corrections ON and OFF, other than to see if the corrections ON make sense.

I am not sure this is a good place to bring up the fact that the STANDARDS provided with the nanoVNA are taken, I believe, by the device and the firmware as IDEAL. Point in fact, they are NOT. Not an issue at lower frequencies unless you want to split hairs. But as you approach 900 MHz, bottom line, when measuring a component, you are not going to get the correct answer.

I emailed the developer on this topic but as of now, no response.

I would guess it is a mode switch between: 'Apply calibration corrections'
and 'Don't apply calibration corrections'

This feature is present in other VNA's. Am not in front of a device to
confirm it though.

Good question Ernst. Let me take a look and see if I can figure it out. I
have a guess that it may have to do with the fact that the standards, open,
short, load are NOT perfect. But... the softkey selection does not lead to
additional menu selection. So far now, it appears to be a PLACE HOLDER for
further work.

Hi,
what is the purpose of the "CORRECT" button in the calibration menu?
I have not read anything about it or did I miss something?
Ernst
