Returned values are placed in the Analyze sheet:
• 0: OK.
• -10000 (INVAL_INST_ID): The specified instrument ID does not exist.
• -10020 (COMP_FILE_ACCESS_ERR): There was an error accessing the specified cable
compensation file.
• -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.
• -10023 (KI590_MEAS_ERROR): A measurement error occurred.
• -10090 (GPIB_ERROR_OCCURRED): A GPIB communications error occurred.
• -10091 (GPIB_TIMEOUT): A timeout occurred during communications.
• -10101 (ARRAY_SIZE_TOO_SMALL): The specified value for Csize, G_or_Rsize, Vsize, or
Tsize was too small for the number of steps in the sweep.
• -10102 (ERROR_PARSING): There was an error parsing the response from the 590.
• -10104 (USER_CANCEL): The user canceled the correction procedure.
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.
