MEAS RATE Selects the measuring rate. At frequencies of 1 kHz or greater, slow
(2 measurements per second), medium (10 measurements per second, and fast
measurements (20 measurements per seconds) may be selected.
DISPLAY
Average The average of 2 to 20 measurement readings will be displayed.
The number of measurements in the average is selected from the keypad.
HOLD This key holds the meter in its current measurement range. Pressing
the hold key a second time returns the meter to the Auto-Range mode. A
specific range may also be entered from the numeric keys on the keypad.
EQU This key toggles the equivalent circuit for the component under test
between a series or parallel circuit.
DISP The DISP key cycles through the display parameters that may be
selected. The display parameters that may be selected are:
VALUE The measured value of the device under test is displayed.
DEV The deviation from a value previously entered is displayed.
% DEV The percent deviation from a previously entered value is
displayed.
ENTRY Used for entering parameter values.
BINS Selects the bin number when Binning is enabled.
Note: Certain displays are not available unless data has been entered. For example,
DEV and % DEV are not available unless a nominal value has already been entered.
Also, BINS is not available unless binning data has previously been entered.
Backspace key used for correcting mistakes when entering
numeric data. This key also serves as the “Local” function.
[0]...[9] These keys are used to enter parameters and are only active
when the meter is in the ENTRY mode.
ENTER [, µH, pF], [k, mH, n F], [M, H, µF]. These three keys are
used for entering numeric parameters in the entry mode (e.g. R, L, C
values). The bottom-most key (M, H, µF) may be used as a general
entry key for entering parameters not listed on the keypad, such as
percent %.
SETUP
STO, RCL The 9216A can store up to nine setups in the memory. To
store the present configuration in memory location #n, press STO [n]
ENTER. To recall a setup, press RCL [n] CAL ENTER.
CAL Enables a series of internal calibration routines, including
open/short and settling time calibration, output amplitude drive, and
internal self-tests.
BIN#, NOM, LIM These keys are used to enter Binning parameters.
The BINNING LED is on when Binning is enabled and the optional
handler is active.
