results of the standard component will be displayed in LOAD A and LOAD B.
13. Press ON to perform load correction calculation at preset frequencies in later
measurements.
Cable Length Selection
The available cable length is 0m (when using the included 4-terminal test fixture), 1m, and
2m. To select the desired length, please follow the steps below:
1) Press the SETUP button.
2) Press the soft key Correction.
3) In the Correction menu, use the cursor keys to navigate to the Cable option.
4) Use the soft keys to select the desired length.
Impedance Parameters
Components such as inductors (L), capacitors (C), and resistors (R) can respond to test signals
with varying frequencies and levels in different ways. Large capacitors tested at high frequencies
can respond differently than when tested at lower frequencies. Large inductors tested at low
frequencies can respond differently than when tested at higher frequencies. In contrast,
resistors will respond relatively the same at high or low frequencies. Due to these
characteristics, it is very important to understand the complex impedance parameters of the
electronic components. The meter allows users to vary these test signals’ measurement
frequency, measurement level, and equivalent circuit choice to characterize the component
under test.
When analyzing the impedance using the impedance measurement plane (), it can be visualized
by the real element (Resistance) on the X-axis and the imaginary element (Reactance) on the Y-
axis. This impedance measurement plane can also be seen as polar coordinates. |Z| is the
magnitude and θ is the phase of the impedance.
