Measurement accuracy (Agilent 4284A only)
The following conditions must be met:
1. Warm up time: ≥ 30 minutes
2. Ambient temperature: 23 °C ±5 °C
3. Test signal voltage: 0.3 Vrms to 1 Vrms
4. Test cable length: 0 m
5. Open and short corrections have been performed
6. D ≤ 0.1 for C, L, X and B measurements
Q ≤ 0.1 for R and G measurements
See operation manual for additional conditions.
Accuracies are relative to calibrated standards. Absolute accuracies are given as:
(Agilent 4284A’s relative accuracy +calibration uncertainty of standards).
