KI590ulib user library
The user modules in the KI590ulib user library are used to control the 590 C-V Analyzer. These
user modules are summarized in the following table. Also listed in the table are names of the user test
modules (UTMs) and actions in Clarius that use the user modules.
cable-compensate in
the ivcvswitch project
Performs cable compensation using
known capacitance source values.
Makes a single capacitance
measurement.
Makes a capacitance versus time
measurement.
Makes capacitance versus voltage
measurements using a pulse sweep.
Makes capacitance versus voltage
measurements using a staircase sweep.
display-cap-file in
the ivcvswitch project
Places capacitance source values in a
spreadsheet.
LoadCableCorrectionConstants
Reads the cable compensation
parameters for the range and frequency
specified from the cable compensation file
and sends these parameters to the 590.
save-cap-file in the
ivcvswitch project
Saves entered capacitance source values
to a file.
