Step 2. Press the
SHORT key to measure the SHORT compensation data. While the instrument is
measuring the compensation data, a message “WAIT--MEASURING STANDARD” is
displayed in the Parameter Setting field in the upper-left area of the screen. Upon
completion of measurement, the
SHORT on OFF softkey label changes to SHORT ON off,
indicating that the SHORT compensation function is turned on.
Step 3. Remove the short bar from the Agilent 16047E's test electrodes.
NOTE The Agilent 4294A provides three fixture compensation functions: OPEN, SHORT, and
LOAD. You can turn on/off each of these compensation functions individually and use
them in any combination to perform the fixture compensation process. In typical
measurement use, it is recommended that you execute the OPEN and SHORT
compensation functions.
