To perform OPEN and SHORT checks for the Tonghui TH2817:

1. OPEN Check:
- Ensure the test terminals are open (not connected to any component).
- The instrument will display "OPEN" in Display A when Z > 50MΩ.
- Perform OPEN correction to correct stray admittance.

2. SHORT Check:
- Short the test terminals (connect them together).
- The instrument will display "SHORT" in Display A when Z < 80mΩ.
- Perform SHORT correction to correct residual impedance.

Both corrections should be performed for all frequency points, and they should be repeated if the test speed or test level is changed.

  • Page 4 DANGER The highest external DC bias voltage is 100V. When external dc bias voltage is applied, the high voltage exists between the test terminals of the meter. Special care should be taken when carrying out test to avoided injury of human body caused by electrical shock. When making test with external bias voltage applied, please do not contact directly or plug in/draw out the component under test on the test fixture or test cable because leads of the tested component are of high voltage.

    Equation (2-3) shows that D and Q have the same sign with that of Rs and Rp, and have no relation with the sign of Xs or Xp. Display Mode 2.3.2 TH2817 provides four kinds of display modes: DIR, △, △% and V/I. DIR Mode 2.3.2.1 In DIR mode, the measurement values of the device under test can be read directly from the instrument.
  • Page 20 Deviation Measurement 2.3.2.2 TH2817 provides two types of deviation measurements. They are absolute deviation measurement and percent deviation measurement. Measurement speed will be reduced because more time will be used to calculate the deviation. Nominal Value Nominal must be set before deviation measurement, because the absolute deviation is the difference between the measured value of the component and a previously stored nominal value.

    2.3.2.3. Measurement Speed 2.3.4 TH2817 provides three measurement speeds: fast, medium and slow. Measurement Time 2.3.4.1 The measurement time consists of two main parts: integration time and calculation time.

    Introduction of Sorting 2.5.1 TH2817 can sort the devices under test into four Bins: P1, P2, P3 and NG. NG means no good. NG is effective when either the main parameter or the sub parameter is not within their limits. P1 to P3 are effective when the sub parameter is within the limit of sub parameter and the main parameter is within the limits of P1 to P3.

In both methods the high limit must be greater than the low limit for a certain pairs of limits. Tolerance Mode: The tolerance mode specifies bin limits by the deviation from the specified nominal value.
