Keysight E4980AL - Parallel;Series Circuit Mode

194 Keysight E4980A/AL Precision LCR Meter
Measurement Procedure and Examples
Parallel/Series Circuit Mode
7-
Parallel/Series Circuit Mode
To measure L, C, or R, there are two equivalent circuit modes: the parallel and
series modes as shown in Table 7-1. The E4980A/AL can select the mode by
setting the FUNC (Cp, Cs, Lp, or Ls) on the MEAS SETUP page. To determine
which mode is better, consider the relative impedance magnitude of the
reactance and Rs and Rp.
