LEAD COMPENSATION (4-WIRE)
Lead Compensation is not usually performed when using a 4-wire measurement since lead resistance is
automatically eliminated. If a 4-wire test is configured but the DUT is connected in a 2-wire manner (e.g., separate
wires for SOURCE and SENSE, but they are shorted together before the connection to the DUT) then a Lead
Compensation may be performed in the same manner as for the 2-wire configuration above.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 -
A DUT has a 50Ω input and it is desired to check that the input impedance is within 5% of the nominal 50Ω value.
This is accomplished in a single step as follows –
Seq 1 Step 1 LOW
2/4-WIRE: 2-WIRE Lead resistance is well below 2.5ohm, so 2-wire is chosen
TIME: 0.10sec Load has very little capacitance so use a fast time
Delay: 0.00sec Load has very little capacitance so no delay needed
Lim: 47.50-52.50 As required
ON FAIL: ABORT SEQ
Example 2 -
It is required to test that a DUT chassis is bonded to its grounding terminal with no more than 0.1ohm of
resistance.
This is accomplished in a single step as follows –
Seq 1 Step 1 LOW
2/4-WIRE: 4-WIRE Lead resistance is significant, so 4-wire is chosen
TIME: 0.10sec Load has very little capacitance so use a fast time
Delay: 0.00sec Load has very little capacitance so no delay needed
Lim: 0u- 100m As required
ON FAIL: ABORT SEQ
SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications are valid at the 95x terminals for 1 year at ambient temperatures within ±5C of calibration
temperature (add 5% of accuracy specification per C outside of this). All specifications are relative to the
calibration standards used. Add ½ digit to all accuracies for displayed results (results available with enhanced
resolution from interfaces).
