Performing Fixture Compensation
In order to perform more accurate measurements, before beginning the
measurement procedure, it is necessary to compensate the fixture. For the
16196A/B/C/D, perform measurements of the data for open compensation and
of the data for short compensation.
The 16196A/B/C/D requires frequent wear checks to keep the best
measurement accuracy. When the equipment is used for the first time
following purchase or part replacement, "Wear Check" should be
conducted. Refer to
If there are temperature fluctuations which exceed a temperature range of
±5°C after fixture compensation has been carried out, then perform fixture
compensation again.
Measuring Open Compensation Data
Set the fixture in the open state using the open plate supplied.
Step 1. Remove the cap.
Make sure there is no dirt or other foreign matter in the DUT insertion hole.
Step 2. Using the Tweezers, place the open plate on top of the insulator assembly.
Set the open plate with the protruding surface down.
Handle the open plate with Tweezers. If dirt, etc. gets on it, measuring
precision and repeatability may be adversely affected.
