Frequency Sweep - DC Bias operation mode - CVU
When performing a frequency sweep, the 4210-CVU steps through all the frequency points from start
to stop. For example, if the start frequency is 800 kHz and the stop frequency is 3 MHz, the CVU
steps through the frequency points 800 kHz, 900 kHz, 1 MHz, 2 MHz, and 3 MHz.
The parameters that are available for this mode are briefly described in the following table. Select the
links to access additional information. The parameters are listed in the order in which they appear in
the All Parameters pane.

Description
Available if you select Report Test Conditions. Determines the name of the
column that contains the frequency information in the Analyze sheet where
this data is reported. You can change the name of the column by typing a
new value.
When this option is selected, Clarius records measurement status
information when the test executes. A column of the Analyze spreadsheet
displays this information. Hover over a cell to review the information.
Use the CVU connection compensation value that was generated for open
connection compensation. Refer to
10) for information on generating and using compensation values.
Use the CVU connection compensation value that was generated for short
connection compensation. Refer to
10) for information on generating and using compensation values.
Use the CVU connection compensation value that was generated for load
compensation. Refer to Connection compensation
information on generating and using compensation values.
The cable length that was used to generate connection compensation data.
Make sure this cable length is the same as the Cable Length setting in the
Tools > CVU Connection Compensation dialog box. Refer to
compensation (on page 4-10) for additional information.
Selects the terminal to use to source AC drive voltage.
The measure range determines the full-scale measurement span that is
applied to the signal.
Selects the terminal to use to source DC drive voltage.
Allows you offset the voltage by up to ±30 V on one terminal. For example,
this allows you to output voltage from 0 V to 60 V instead of −30 V to +30 V.
The Capacitance Range Estimator automatically calculates the maximum
capacitance value based on the parameter settings in the Advanced settings
dialog box.
Description
Type a presoak voltage of −30 V to +30 V.
The DC bias range accepts a value between −30 V to 30 V.
The frequency at which the sweep starts.
The frequency at which the sweep stops.
The number of frequency points to sweep. This is calculated from the start
and stop frequency values.
The AC drive signal accepts a value between 10 mV and 100 mV.
