3.4.1 Calibration
As shown in Figure 13, open the path loss configuration menu. Firstly, import the path loss
file. The default setting is to load the path loss of Passive/Active_Tx. The user can also choose
to load and view an Emission calibration file from the drop-down menu.

3.4.1.1 Restore Factory Data
Before shipment, the system will be calibrated, and the calibrated path loss data will be
permanently stored in the system.
Click the "Reset" button to reset the path loss to the original data.
3.4.1.2 Recalibrate
Users can recalibrate the data of two path loss files. The files are Passive/Active_Tx and
Emission. Select a file from the “Calibration Configuration” window and click the
"Recalibrate" button to start the path loss recalibration.
