1. A method of providing an integrated approach to automated system alignment, comprising:

  • providing amplifier compression alignment;

    providing continuous internal alignment of phase and amplitude of a synthetic stimulus instrument (SSI) output signal;

    providing external measurement port alignment; and

    providing transfer alignment of internal measurement paths,wherein said providing continuous internal alignment, comprises;

    a foreground process, wherein said foreground process comprisescharacterizing one or more parameters that are most sensitive to fluctuation with at least one of time and/or temperature, andupdating said parameters for all frequency at a high refresh rate; and

    a background process, wherein said background process comprisescharacterizing one or more parameters that are less sensitive to fluctuation with at least one of time and/or temperature, andupdating said parameters for all frequency at a lower refresh rate.
