Section 4: Using a Model 590 C-V Analyzer Model 4200A-SCS Prober and External Instrument Control
4-16 4200A-913-01 Rev. A December 2020
Measurement model:
â–ª Series model: 0
â–ª Parallel model: 1
Enables or disables the analog filter:
â–ª Disable: 0
â–ª Enable (can minimize the amount noise in the readings, but increases
measurement time): 1
The reading rate used to acquire the measurements (0 to 4); see Details
Output: The measured capacitance
Output: The bias voltage used
Output:
â–ª Parallel measurement model: G_or_R is the measured conductance
â–ª Series measurement model: G_or_R is the measured resistance
Details
This user module makes a single, fixed-bias capacitance and conductance measurement. The default
parameters for the 590-cmeas UTM, which uses the Cmeas590 user module, are shown in the
following figure.

In general, the 590 is set to source 5 V for 2 seconds, then make a measurement, as shown in the
following figure.
