After performing a calibration with a user defined calibration kit, all log magnitude data is displayed as -200 dB; why?

(SUPPORTED MODELS IN BOLD: E5071C E5070B/71B E5070A/71A E5061A/62A E5061B E5072A)

-200 dB is a display limitation of the analyzer. This most often indicates some form of a data overflow processing error (i.e. division by zero, etc.). This error can be caused by several anomalies. One cause could be improperly defined calibration standards. Examples of improperly defined calibration standards: "None" is selected for a STD type instead of "Open", "Short", "Load", "Delay/Thru" or "Arbitrary". Another cause could be that "Ps" is entered rather than "pS" for pico seconds in the delay field. See image below.
