ECal and Agilent
Network Analyzer
Configurations

PNA and ENA Series

ECal modules are controlled
directly from the PNA and ENA
Series network analyzers. No
external PC is required. Simply
connect the ECal module to the
USB port on the network analyz-
er. You can control your calibra-
tion from the front panel keys of
the PNA Series or automatically
by your user program.

8719, 8720, 8722 and 8753
product families

ECal modules are controlled
manually or automatically via
the 85097B interface kit. The
85097B consists of an interface
unit and a power supply.

The interface module is the
interface between the parallel
port on your VNA, the parallel
port of the ECal module and the
external power supply.

Firmware revisions of 7.68 or
higher in the 8753 and 8720
families allow for VNA control
of ECal modules. The 85097B
interface module, with the
analyzer’s internal firmware
control, provides digital control
and supplies power to one or
two ECal modules. Calibration
control is available via the front
panel keys or from a user
program. Firmware revision 7.74
and adapter cable (8121-1047) are
required for the N4690 Series.
The adapter cable can be ordered
as an option with the 85097B.
