5.2.Setup

5.2.1. Recalling a State File
This section describes how to recall a state file of the E5071C that includes all the
measurement settings for USB2.0 connectors and cable assemblies compliance tests.
The state file can be downloaded at: http://www.keysight.com/find/ena-tdr_compliance
Copy the state file into the E5071C's directory via USB mass storage device and recall
the state file using the TDR software. Necessary parameters for testing are
automatically set up in the E5071C. Refer to Appendix for the details about manual
setup.
If TDR setup wizard is shown, click Close button in the TDR setup wizard main
window.

1. Open Setup tab.
2. Click Advanced Mode to show the dialog box.

3. A dialog box appears requesting for confirmation. Then click Yes. (Uncheck "Use
Advanced Calibration Methods")

4. Click File and select Recall State.
5. Specify a folder and a file name, and click Open.

The E5071C's channel 1 is used for time-domain measurements by using the TDR
software displayed at the bottom of the E5071C's screen. The channel 2 is used for
frequency-domain measurements by using the hard keys on the front panel and the soft
keys on the right side of the screen.

5.2.2. Saving a State File
All the measurement settings including calibration information can be saved in a state
file (*.tdr). After performing calibration, all necessary calibration coefficients are saved
in a state file and can be recalled for the next measurements.

1. Press Save/Recall > Save Type and select State & Cal as a state file type.
2. Click File of the TDR software and select Save State.

3. Enter file name and save the state file with calibration information.

5.3.Calibration
The purpose of this step is to calibrate the RF effects such as delay, loss or mismatch of
RF cables and test fixture traces before measurements. In order to remove the fixture
trace effect, two calibration methods (ECal calibration & fixture compensation or
deskew & loss compensation) are available for time domain and SOLT calibration is
available for frequency domain with the E5071C firmware for the USB 2.0 connectors
and cable assemblies compliance tests.

5.3.1. Time Domain Calibration

5.3.1.1. ECal Calibration & Fixture Compensation
Full calibration is performed by using the ECal Module (i.e. N4431B/N4433A) at the
end of RF cables connected to the E5071C's test ports. The effect of the fixture is
removed by fixture compensation.

ECal calibration & fixture compensation for time-domain measurements are performed
by the TDR software.
