Function specifications

Continuous measurement

Performs continuous measurement using saved conditions, started by external trigger or panel selection.

Correction

Includes open, short, load, cable length, and correlation correction methods.

Open correction: Increases measurement precision by eliminating the effects of the measurement cable’s stray admittance.

Acquires correction values for all measurement frequencies, with range limitation option.

Short correction: Increases measurement precision by eliminating the effects of the measurement cable’s residual impedance.

Acquires correction values for all measurement frequencies, with range limitation option.

Load correction

Measures a reference sample to calculate correction coefficients for measured values.

Correlation correction

Corrects measured values using user-configured correction coefficients A and B.

BIN measurement

Displays up to 10 judgment results for two parameters and allows outputting results to external device.

Comparator

Displays measurement results for two parameters as HI/IN/LO results and allows output to external device.

Contact check

Performs contact check between terminals and sample during 4-terminal measurement.

High-Z reject function (detection of OPEN state during 2-terminal measurement)

Outputs contact error when measurement value exceeds judgment reference during 2-terminal measurement.
