Selecting measurement parameters

To select the measurement parameters, use the following commands.
•
•
You can select one of the following measurement parameter combinations shown in Table
3-1. If you select one parameter using the GPIB command and the resulting parameter
combination is not among those in Table 3-1, the other parameter is automatically changed
to a proper parameter. For example, when the primary parameter is Cp and you select Rs as
the secondary parameter, the primary parameter is automatically changed to Cs.
