Short-circuit, Open-circuit, and Load compensation can be performed to take
account of fixture and cabling effects on measurement results.
This is optional (you may find that these effects are not critical to your
measurement accuracy, if you have wide PASS/FAIL limits) but SC + OC should
always be performed when possible. Load compensation is optional only on 2
tests and gives you the ability to normalize results to a known, measured standard
part. See section 13.5 for full details.
On Program load, you are asked if you wish to apply compensation.
The screen shows which types of compensation apply to your test program (this
depends upon the types of tests you have chosen in the test program). These will
show as" Required" Or "Not applicable."
The screen also confirms if you have successfully compensated the program
since the program was loaded. These show the date and time of compensation.
See "
AUTOMATIC COMPENSATION STORAGE
Use the active soft keys to enter the sub menu- for each compensation type.
