C: Using a Keysight 4284/4980A LCR Meter Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer
C-10 4200A-901-01 Rev. C / February 2017
Details
This user module performs a capacitance versus voltage staircase sweep. An example of its use is
shown in C-V sweep (on page C-6
). In this example, the Model 4284A or Model 4980A outputs a
linear staircase voltage sweep from +3 V to −4 V in 50 mV steps. As shown in the C-V linear staircase
sweep figure in
C-V sweep (on page C-6), a capacitance measurement is made on each step of the
sweep. For an example of how to run a C-V sweep, see Model 4284A or 4980A Test Example (on
page C-6).
If a switch matrix to route signals is being controlled by a connection action UTM (for example,
connect), there is no need to connect LoPin and HiPin. Set these parameters to 0.
Returned values are placed in the Analyze spreadsheet.
• 0: OK.
• -10030 (HP4284_NOT_IN_KCON): No Keysight 4284A or Keysight 4980 LCR is defined in your
system configuration.
• -10031 (HP4284_MEAS_ERROR): A measurement error occurred.
• -10090 (GPIB_ERROR_OCCURRED): A GPIB communications error occurred.
• -10091 (GPIB_TIMEOUT): A timeout occurred during communications.
• -10100 (INVAL_PARAM): An invalid input parameter is specified.
• -10102 (ERROR_PARSING): There was an error parsing the response from the Model 4284A or
4980.
• -10101 (ARRAY_SIZE_TOO_SMALL): The specified value for Csize, G_or_Rsize, Vsize, or
Tsize was too small for the number of steps in the sweep.
