Fixture Compensation
In an actual measurement, a probe adapter is attached to the probe. Fixture
compensation is required for compensating residual impedance and admittance.
The fixture compensation includes OPEN and SHORT compensation
measurements. For more information on fixture compensation, also refer to the
4294A Operation Manual.
NOTE Generally, there is no need to perform load compensation. However, if you have a
suitable standard device and require extremely accurate measurement, perform
load compensation as needed.
The following procedure is for measurement of the compensation data with the
42941A.
