Setting Up Measurement Signals (Frequency And Level)
Setting up frequency
You can set the frequency of the measurement signal applied to the DUT as 
either  
120 Hz, 1 kHz, or 1 MHz.
Setup procedure
For details on setup procedure, refer to “Setting up measurement signal 
frequency” on page 41.
Setting up level
You can set up the level of the measurement signal applied to the DUT within a 
range of 0.1 V to 1.0 V in steps of 10 mV.
Setup procedure
For details on setup procedure, refer to “Setting up measurement signal level” 
on page 42.
Setting up signal level compensation (SLC) function
Functional description
If the impedance of DUT is small, then the output resistance of the signal 
source, the resistance of the measurement cable can cause the voltage applied 
to the DUT to decrease below the specified voltage of the signal source. The 
signal level compensation feature adjusts the voltage across the DUT to the 
same level as the signal voltage level setting. Using this feature, you can 
maintain a constant level (voltage) of measurement signals applied to the DUT. 
In Option 002, 1 MHz frequency is not available. 
SLC is available on:
• 120 Hz: 220 µF, 470 µF, 1 mF range
• 1 kHz: 22 µF, 47 µF, 100 µF range
For all other range/frequency SLC is not executed even if LVL COMP is ON.
