Learning Basic Measurement Procedure
Measuring data for SHORT correction
The SHORT correction removes residual impedance in series with the DUT. The
procedure to measure the data for SHORT correction is described below.
Step 1. Press the [Meas Setup] key.
Step 2. Press the CORRECTION softkey. The CORRECTION display page as shown in
Figure 3-8 appears.
Step 3. Use the cursor keys to select the SHORT field.
Step 4. Connect the UNKNOWN terminal and the test fixture and short-circuit the high
and low test terminals
Step 5. Press the MEAS SHORT softkey. The data for the SHORT correction is then
measured.
• During the measurement, a “SHORT measurement in progress” message is
shown on the display.
• When the measurement has finished, the “SHORT measurement in
progress” message disappears.
• During the measurement, the ABORT
softkey is shown. Use this key when
you want to abort short correction.
Step 6. When measurement of the data for SHORT correction is successfully
completed, the SHORT correction turns to ON (as shown in Figure 3-11).

The data for SHORT correction is stored as data for all the measurement
frequencies.
