Thanks PA0PBZ, I'll let you know how it goes. Also, reading the installation note for the TG option, https://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/N1996-90009.pdf?id=1132460 it notes that several adjustments are required after this option is enabled, including TG flatness and return loss calibration. Also they mention some minimum performance checks like freq response and DANL. There's a calibration software that requires a license to use it in order to run these adjustments. I wonder how critical these are. I've contacted Keysight regarding this software to see what they say.
PA0PBZ:
It's not only the software you need but also the instruments, which is an even larger problem. If you just normalize before your measurement flatness should not be a problem.
jokkydee:
I've got the options enabled after the patch, thanks for the help. I take it that normalising will mean for the purposes of doing measurements with the unit itself it should be ok, but if for example, characterising a cable for use in an external system by exporting the insertion loss data, it may not be reliable without those adjustments and checks?
PA0PBZ:
When normalizing you connect the output of the instrument to the input and the instrument builds a correction table that takes the wrinkles out of the signal generator and the receiver. That way you can do your measurement and it will not be influenced by any anomalies of the instrument.
