Page 121: Correction Process
CORRECTION (OPEN/SHORT) Correction process Prior to each measurement, the user needs to correction the fixture or test cable to eliminate stray capacitance and series impedance that may be generated by the fixture or test cable. Application when using LCR-8200 or changing a fixture in a new environment. Please check the test unit and the test fixture used for correct correction.
Page 122 LCR-8000 Series User Manual The HF LOAD correction is not necessarily Note performed. Please refer to the test fixture using the operating manual and correct it according to the conditions. 7. Connect the STD-LOAD to the test fixture, and then perform HF LOAD correction. The SPOT LOAD correction is not necessarily Note performed.
Page 123: Setting Open
CORRECTION (OPEN/SHORT) Setting open For normal measurements, it is recommended that this item be executed. OPEN correction capability cancels errors due to the stray admittance in the test fixture. 1. Press the Measure button to enter Steps [MEAS DISPLAY] page, and then press the CORR.
Page 124 LCR-8000 Series User Manual The open correction is quite sensitive to noise - Note both noise originating externally and induced noise. Therefore, if open correction fails, you should check the following points before starting the correction process again:  Check that the test fixture or the test cables are properly connected.
Page 125: Setting Short
CORRECTION (OPEN/SHORT) Setting short For normal measurements, it is recommended that this item be executed. The short correction compensates for any residual impedances, such as the impedance of the cables and the DUT connection points. 1. Press the Measure button to enter Steps [MEAS DISPLAY] page, and then press the CORR.
Page 126 LCR-8000 Series User Manual If short correction fails, you should check the Note following points before starting the correction process again:  Check that the test fixture or the test cables are properly connected.  Check that the test fixture or the test cables are properly shorted together with the shorting bar.
Page 127: Setting Hf Load
CORRECTION (OPEN/SHORT) Setting HF load This item does not necessarily need to be implemented. Some test fixtures have a standard LOAD, which can be performed with reference to the fixture instructions and requirements to perform LOAD (PHASE) compensation. 1. Press the Measure button to enter Steps [MEAS DISPLAY] page, and then press the CORR.
Page 128 LCR-8000 Series User Manual If HF load correction fails, you should check the Note following points before starting the correction process again:  Check that the test fixture or the test cables are properly connected.  Check that the test fixture or the test cables are properly shorted together with the STD- LOAD.
Page 129: Setting Spot Load
CORRECTION (OPEN/SHORT) Setting spot load This item does not necessarily need to be implemented. If the OPEN/SHOR/LOAD compensation cannot make the measurement correct, you can perform SPOT LOAD compensation to let the instrument know the correct value through learning. Use the part with the known value as the standard value which will be recognized by the instrument during the test, the instrument will then shows this value in the test status.
Page 130 LCR-8000 Series User Manual If SPOT LOAD correction fails, you should check Note the following points before starting the correction process again:  Check that the test fixture or the test cables are properly connected.  Check that the test fixture or the test cables are properly shorted together with the part.

Page 236: Inductance (L)
LCR-8000 Series User Manual Inductance (L) Inductance is the property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current through it induces an electromotive force (EMF) in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual inductance. In the SI system, the measurement unit for inductance is the Henry (with the unit symbol H).

APPENDIX Reactance (X) and Susceptance (B) In AC circuit analysis, reactance is represented by the capital letter “X” which is the imaginary a part of complex impedance. Reactance is the opposition of a circuit element to a change in the current or voltage, due to that element's inductance or capacitance which is similar to the opposition of resistance to current in a DC circuit.
