Preventing Mistakes During Execution Of Calibration And Compensation; Setting The Limit For Dc Resistance (Rdc) - Agilent Technologies Twelfth 4287A RF LCR Operation Manual

Preventing Mistakes During Execution of Calibration and
Compensation
Setting limit values for the DC resistance (Rdc) measurement value when calibration and
compensation are executed makes it possible to detect an improperly attached standard
during calibration or any abnormality with the measurement terminals during
compensation.

1. Setting the limit for DC resistance (Rdc)

Step 1. Press the
Step 2. Press the
Calibration/Compensation Wizard Setting dialog box (Figure 6-23).
