Chapter 4 LCR Function
The constant current operation range differs depending on the test sample to be measured.
The impedance Zm' observed from the generator is as follows:
Accordingly, the voltage
Vm across both leads of the sample is as follows:
Because the generator output voltage range is 5[mV] to 5[V], the CV operation range per
the above expression is
Vm = 0.8[mV] to 0.78[V].
In low Z high accuracy mode, the output resistance
Ro becomes 25 [].

Testing some types of sample is not possible using constant current. In this case, the following
symbol appears on the display:
Constant current measurement will not be performed.
Change the constant current level so that it is less than or equal to the displayed Iac monitor
values.
Example: When a 1 mH impedance is measured at 1 kHz, the CC operation range can be
obtained as follows.
Sample impedance
Zm becomes as follows:
The impedance
Zm' observed from the generator is as follows:
Accordingly, the current
Im across both leads of the sample is as follows:
Because the generator output voltage range is 5 [mV] to 5 [V] (see the table of page 54),
the CC operation range per the above expression is
Im = 49.9[A] to 49.9[mA].
In low Z high accuracy mode, the output resistance
Ro becomes 25 [].
