Procedure
1. You are prompted to open the circuit so that an offset capacitance measurement can be made if
needed.
2. If a cable compensation file is specified, the compensation information in that file for the selected
range and frequency is loaded. If not, instrument default compensation is used.
3. A C-V sweep is performed.
