The calibration software needs to be installed on a Unix/Linux machine that is able to communicate serially with both your CMU200 instrument and your Calypso devices to be calibrated. Because we use serial communication with the CMU200 instead of GPIB, no exotic drivers or libraries are needed. However, you do need to have FreeCalypso host tools (release fc-host-tools-r5 or later) installed on your system under /opt/freecalypso before you can compile and install the present calibration software, as we use the rvinterf program from FC host tools to communicate with Calypso DUTs (or more precisely, with the L1TM component in their firmware), and we need some rvinterf definitions in order to compile. Once you have fc-host-tools-r5 or later compiled and installed under /opt/freecalypso, run 'make' to compile the calibration sw. Then run 'make install' to add the calibration programs to your FC software installation under /opt/freecalypso. You will also need to create one or more cable config files corresponding to your cabling setup(s) and place them in the /opt/freecalypso/rfcal/cableconf directory: see doc/Cable-config-howto.
