How to Set Capacitance Output
Complete the following procedure to set a synthesized capacitance output at the front
panel NORMAL terminals. If you make an entry error, press Gto clear the display,
then reenter the value.
1. Press R to clear any output from the Calibrator.
2. Connect the UUT as described earlier in this chapter under "How to Connect the
Since this is a synthesized output, be sure the terminal connections from the
Calibrator to the UUT are LO to LO and HI to HI.
3. Set the UUT to measure capacitance on the desired range.
4. Press the numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the desired capacitance output
5. Press a multiplier key (preceded with the b key) for the desired output. For
6. Press F.
7. The Control Display now shows the amplitude of your capacitance entry. For
8. Press E. The calibrator clears your entry from the Control Display and copies it
9. Press O to activate the calibrator output.
The softkey in the Control Display labeled COMP allows you to select one of three lead-
compensation settings.
4-34
OHMS ZERO Press to recalibrate internal circuitry for the ohms function (allow
several minutes).
COMP (Compensation) Applies 4-wire compensation, 2-wire compensation or turns
compensation off. Compensation is available for resistances up to (but not including)
110 kΩ. See "Four-Wire versus Two-Wire Connections" earlier in this chapter for
more information.
Calibrator to a UUT." Also refer to "Cable Connection Instructions" for a procedure
to null out stray capacitances due to the test cable connections.
(maximum five numeric keys). For example, 123.45.
example, press b then c for μF. The other multiplier keys include M for pF
and K for nF.
example, 123.45 μF (below).
