Ultra Fast and Accurate Measurements
Increase Productivity
The factory default settings are optimized for chip-
component resistance measurements. Enhanced
contact-to-measurement and contact-check-to-deci-
sion times are only 1 ms. The offset-voltage compen-
sation (OVC) function minimizes the effects of thermal
emf when using low-power resistance measurement
and the 100 m
to 10 ranges (p. 57). Measurement
results are judged pass/fail with 10 ppm resolution,
ideal for high-speed Class B resistor testing.
High-Speed Data Output and Ample Memory
The Data Output function transfers measured data at
5 ms/sample, even via RS-232C. Up to 30,000 mea-
surements can be stored, and all data can be exported
at the end of measuring each reel. This function is ide-
al for system setup, debugging and process manage-
ment.
Multiple Interfaces
EXT I/O is isolated from the measurement and control
circuits to provide noise immunity (p. 85).
All data can be acquired in real time using the built-in
38.4-kbps high-speed RS-232C interface. Connect
the commercially available printer with a serial inter-
face to print measured values and statistical calcula-
tion results (p. 79).
The GP-IB interface is available for Model RM3542-01
(specified when ordering, p. 97).
Low-Power Function (p. 28)
For ranges from 1000 m to 1000 , low-power re-
sistance measurement is provided to minimize mea-
surement current. Safely measure devices that are
otherwise difficult to measure with high current, such
as ferrite-bead and multilayer inductors.
Clearly Visible Display and Intuitive Opera-
tion
High-contrast LCD provides clear visibility, helping
avoid setting mistakes. The optimum range is selected
automatically when comparator thresholds are en-
tered.
Auto Memory Function Convenient for Sam-
pling Tests (p. 71)
The auto memory function is convenient for sampling
tests after screen-printing. Measured values are auto-
matically acquired as soon as they stabilize, and statis-
tical calculations proceed until the specified quantity is
obtained, upon which an alert notification (alarm) oc-
curs. Selecting [PRINT] (screen display) prints mea-
sured values and statistical calculation results (p. 82).
Fixtures for Component Measurements (p. 4)
The BNC-type measurement jacks exhibit good noise
immunity. Ready availability and easy assembly en-
sure smooth system setup. Various test fixtures are
available for Hioki LCR HiTesters.
