5520A
Operators Manual

• OHMS ZERO Press to recalibrate internal circuitry for the ohms function (allow
several minutes).
• COMP (Compensation) Applies 4-wire compensation, 2-wire compensation or turns
compensation off. Compensation is available for resistances up to (but not including)
110 kΩ. See “Four-Wire versus Two-Wire Connections” earlier in this chapter for
more information.
4-31. Setting Capacitance Output
Complete the following procedure to set a synthesized capacitance output at the front
panel NORMAL terminals. If you make an entry error, press Gto clear the display,
then reenter the value.
1. Press R to clear any output from the 5520A.
2. Connect the UUT as described earlier in this chapter under “Connecting the
Calibrator to a UUT.” Also refer to “Cable Connection Instructions” for a procedure
to null out stray capacitances due to the test cable connections.
Note
Since this is a synthesized output, be sure the terminal connections from
the 5520A to the UUT are LO to LO and HI to HI.
3. Set the UUT to measure capacitance on the desired range.
4. Press the numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the desired capacitance output
(maximum five numeric keys). For example, 123.45.
5. Press a multiplier key (preceded with the b key) for the desired output. For
example, press b then cfor µF. The other multiplier keys include M for
pF and Kfor nF.
6. Press F.
