5. On the front panel, press the [Auto] key to activate automatic detection of the mea-
surement function according to the component type of the DUT.
Aligning the instrument on all frequencies
To align the R&S LCX on all frequencies:
1. Press the [Comp.] key at the front panel.
The "Open/Short/Load Correction" dialog opens.
2. Perform a short correction, in this example described for the SMD test fixture
(R&S LCX-Z3):
a) Short-circuit the contact devices, i.e. the clamps or pins, according to the used
test fixture.
b) Set "Short Correction Enabled" > "ON".
The short correction takes about 2 minutes.
3. Perform an open correction:
a) Open the contact devices.
Depending on the test fixture, take care that you set the required position.
For example, Kelvin clamps require the same position as expected for the mea-
surement, or the spacing between SMD pins must correspond to the size of the
measurement sample.
b) Set "Open Correction Enabled" > "ON".
The open correction also lasts for about 2 minutes.
Note: For information on corrections with other test fixtures, see Chapter 6.1,
"About test fixtures", on page 52.
Measuring a resistor
1. To select the resistor measurement (DUT component type), press the [R] key.
2. To select the parameters for measurement results display:
a) Select the softkey in the upper left corner, to open the selection editor.
b) Select the parameters "R-X" (resistance, reactance).
c) Repeat the steps to select the second parameters, e.g. select "Z-Θ" (impe-
dance, phase angle).
3. Insert the sample resistor in the test fixture as follows:
a) To open the contact pins, relax and hold the lever to the left.
b) Carefully position the sample between the contacts in the center.
c) Release the lever to fix the sample.
The measurement starts and you can see the readings on the screen.
