Restrictions for Using the Routine
Capacitance Compensation Routine can be used only in an program runs on HP
BASIC. Corrected data by the routine is not guaranteed. But typical data
(supplemental data) is as follows:
Capacitance measurement accuracy: ±1 % ±0.5 pF
This typical data is for the following measurement conditions:
Frequency:
Measurement Range:
Measurement Terminal:
The typical data does not apply to cable or anything extended from the 16494A
triaxial cable. Also the conditions specified in "Required Conditions" on page 6-30
must be satisfied.

1 kHz to 1 MHz
Maximum 1000 pF
