Chapter 8 Error Compensation
With high frequency measurement, the influence of the cable results in large measurement errors. Setting the
cable length enables you to reduce the measurement errors. Use a coaxial cable with 50  impedance.
8.4 Compensating Measurement Cable
Errors (Cable Length Compensation)
• If the cable length changes, repeat open, short, and load compensation.
• The guaranteed accuracy range varies with the cable length.
See: Cable length coefficient (p. 345)
• When manufacturing your own cables, make sure that the cable length matches the length
set with the instrument. (IM3533: 1 m, IM3533-01: 1 m/ 2 m/ 4 m)
See: "Points to pay attention to when making your own probe" (p. 32)
• When using the L2000, set cable length compensation to 1 m.
