Figure 59: CableCompensate590 default parameters
If the default parameters are used, cable compensation is done for the 2 pF, 20 pF, 200 pF, and 2 nF
ranges and for the 100 kHz and 1 MHz test frequencies. The line 1 input parameter indicates the
directory path where the user-input capacitor source values are saved. These values are entered and
saved using the SaveCableCompCaps590 user module.
Test example 1 demonstrates how to do cable compensation (see Model 590 test examples (on page
4-6)).
If the file defined for CabCompFile does not exist, or there is no path specified (null string), the
default compensation parameters are used. When entering the path, use two backslash (\\)
characters to separate each directory. For example, if your cable file is in
C:\calfiles\590cal.dat, you enter the following:
C:\\calfiles\\590cal.dat
If a switch matrix to route signals is being controlled by a connection action (for example, connect),
there is no need to connect InputPin and OutPin. Set these parameters to 0.
Returned values are placed in the Analyze sheet.
• 0: OK.
• -10000 (INVAL_INST_ID): The specified instrument ID does not exist
• -10021 (COMP_FILE_NOT_EXIST): The specified compensation file does not exist
• -10022 (KI590_NOT_IN_KCON): There is no CMTR defined in your system configuration.
