Impedance range
Impedance range mode
Two modes can be used to select the impedance range as shown in Table 3-5.
Available impedance range
The hold range has nine impedance ranges, but when option 001 is installed, it 
has ten. The impedance range is selected according to the DUT’s impedance 
even if the measurement parameter is capacitance or inductance.

Auto range 
(auto selection)
The E4980A/AL sets 
the optimum 
impedance range for 
the impedance of the 
DUT.
You do not need 
to select the 
impedance 
range.
The 
measurement 
time is longer 
due to the 
ranging time.
Hold range
(manual selection)
Measurement is 
performed with a fixed 
impedance range 
regardless of the 
impedance of the 
DUT.
No ranging time 
is required.
You need to 
select a proper 
range 
depending on 
the value of the 
DUT.
