■ Open and short detection: judge the reliability of the DUT before starting the high voltage to ensure the accuracy and safety of high voltage test. Open and short detection can judge the distribution impedance current of more than 100PF. When the current is less than this value, the current acquisition circuit resolution of the instrument can not distinguish the connection of open circuit and the test component accurately.
