Programming and Operator Interface Keys
On the right side of the front panel of the LCR meter, there are many buttons and keys for
programming test conditions and for general operator interface. These keys are grouped
according to function, and some groups have LED indicators associated with them show
which option has been selected.
Frequency
100ppm (0.01%). 100Hz, 120Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz or 100 kHz may be selected by
pressing the up/down keys on the front panel keypad until its corresponding LED is
illuminated.
Drive Voltage
BIAS
these keys for any other measurement will generate the "bias for c" error message.

LEDs that indicate the measurement type for the secondary
LEDs indicating the units of the value being displayed on the left
The right-side display is dimensionless or has units of ohms
These LEDs give information on the status of the remote control
REM: Indicates that the display is being controlled remotely via the interface
connector on the rear panel.
ACT:
Indicates that the remote control interface is active.
ERR: Indicates that a remote command contained an error.
The 9216A has five selectable fixed frequencies with an accuracy to
VOLT Pressing the VOLT key, the output voltage will cycle through three
fixed output drive voltages (0.1V, 0.25V, 1.0V). An LED indicates the selected
drive voltage. If NO LED is lit, then the output drive voltage is in the vernier
mode.
CONS This key sets the meter to the constant voltage mode.
The bias mode is used only for capacitance measurements. Pressing
INT
Selects a 2.0 VDC internal bias.
EXT
Selects a voltage from an external source to be applied to the
capacitor under test.
