conjunction with the Histogram View to improve data quality
-
tion and data averaging.
Measurement steps on B2985A/87A front panel operation
This section gives step-by-step instructions on how to use the B2980A’s Femto/Picoam-
voltage to the LED.
Figure 5 shows the proper connections to measure the I/V charac-
teristics of an LED. Note that it is important to connect the ammeter
common to the chassis ground using the banana to lug cable as
then this ground connection is not necessary.
(a) 0.1 PLC speed measurement. (b) Normal speed measurement using the data averaging.
Measurement condition:
- Speed: 0.1 PLC
- Filtering: None
Measurement condition:
- Speed: Normal
- Filtering: Moving average (100 points)
