2.7 Measurement Procedure
Before a measurement is made verify the following:
1. 1730T instrument [POWER] ON.
2. 15-minute warm-up.
3. Test parameters programmed and shown on MEAS DISPLAY.
4. Test cables or fixture connected.
5. CORRECTION function initiated.
6. Device under test connected.
The operator has the option of performing a test at power-up conditions (test conditions at which
the instrument was last powered down) or recalling one of 50 stored test setups. Refer to
paragraphs 2.4 – 2.5 for test programming and storage/recall instructions.
To initiate a test:
• Press [TRIGGER].
• The test voltage is shut off when all test steps are completed,
• OR when a test result is judged a FAIL per programmed test limits.
• The test result is displayed on MEAS DISPLAY
The 1730T instrument judges the measurement value based on the BINNING and COMPARE
functions set up previously. Refer to paragraphs 2.5.1 and 2.5.4 for instructions on setting these
judgment parameters. Upon completion of the test the output voltage is terminated and the
display shows the test result.
