STEP 8. Connecting MUT
As with the load standard (Figure 4-8), connect the MUT to the 16453A test fixture by
inserting it between the test fixture's upper and lower electrodes.
NOTE
When connecting a load standard or a MUT to the test fixture, make sure that it only comes
into contact with the test fixture's electrodes. Also, be careful not to give the upper
electrode horizontal pressure by moving the load standard or the MUT while it is in
position between the electrodes.
NOTE
If the pressure from the upper and lower electrodes is too weak, this may create a gap
between the MUT and the electrodes and thus cause measurement errors. It is
recommended that the pressure be maximized to the extent that it does not deform the
MUT. For best repeatability when measuring both a load standard and a MUT, connect
them to the test fixture with the same pressure.
