D: Using a Model 82 C-V System Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer
D-40 4200A-901-01 Rev. C / February 2017
The Q/T sweep in Equilibrium test (QTsweep) description (on page D-14) acquires 20 quasistatic
capacitance readings. After the graph for quasistatic capacitance and leakage current versus time is
plotted, the optimum delay time for equilibrium can be determined.
For details on quasistatic measurements, see QTsweep (on page D-12). For details on C-t
measurements, see C-t sweep (on page D-18).
The Range values are shown in the following table.
Range values
Value 595 range
The return values from status can be:
• 0: OK.
• -10000 (INVAL_INST_ID): The specified instrument ID does not exist
• -10045 (KI82_NOT_IN_KCON): There is no CMTR defined in your system configuration
• -10090 (GPIB_ERROR_OCCURRED): A GPIB communications error occurred
• -10091 (GPIB_TIMEOUT): A timeout occurred during communications
• -10020 (COMP_FILE_ACCESS_ERR): There was an error accessing the specified cable
compensation file
• -10021 (COMP_FILE_NOT_EXIST): The specified compensation file does not exist
• -10100 (INVAL_PARAM): An invalid input parameter is specified
• -10101 (ARRAY_SIZE_TOO_SMALL): The specified value for CQS_ArrSize, QT_ArrSize, or
Delay_Time_ArrSize was too small for the number of steps in the sweep
• -10102 (ERROR_PARSING): There was an error parsing the response.
• -10104 (USER_CANCEL): The user canceled the correction procedure.
Procedure
1. If set, you are prompted to open the circuit so that an offset capacitance measurement can be
made.
2. If a cable compensation file is specified, the compensation information in that file for the selected
range and frequency will be loaded. If not, instrument default compensation is used.
3. A Q/T sweep is performed.
