Model 3550 LCR Meter Instruction Manual Instrument Description
1-9
Performance Specifications cont’d:
Measurement Time
Open Terminal Voltage Mode
When the Measurement Frequency is 10kHz, no averaging, the range is held constant, RS-232C is
OFF and the Comparator is ON, the shortest measurement time is 18ms.
Typical Analog Measurement Times
Conditions: Averaging= 1, range held, RS-232C is OFF, and Comparator ON:
Table 1.6 – Typical Analog Measurement Times
Test Frequency Typical Analog Measurement Time
42Hz 624ms Max.
120Hz 221ms Max.
1kHz 31ms Max.
10kHz 18ms Max.
100kHz 30ms Max.
1MHz 25ms Max.
5MHz 21ms Max.
About the Typical Analog Measurement Time
The Typical Analog Measurement Time is dependent upon the Measurement Frequency. For ranges
42.0Hz~750Hz, and 10.1kHz~19.0kHz, Typical Analog Measurement Time will exceed 40 ms.
For other frequencies, 40ms will not be exceeded.
(Conditions: Averaging = 1, range held, RS-232C is OFF, and Comparator ON)
Fixed Voltage/Fixed Current Mode
The measurement time can be up to 4X the time of the Open Terminal Voltage Mode.
Average Mode
The user can define from 1~100 averages.
