6-30 Agilent E5250A User’s Guide, Edition 9
Programming the E5250A
Using the Capacitance Compensation Routine
Required Conditions This subprogram requires the following conditions:
• Setting of the 4284A:
Option Required: 4284A-006
Frequency: 1 kHz to 1 MHz.
Measurement Function: Cp-G.
Connection to E5250A: Use Agilent 16048D/E Test Cable and BNC
T-type Adapter (Agilent part number:
1250-2405).
Calibration: Must be done at the end of the 16048D/E.
• E5250A Input port:
CV1 and CV2.
• Connection of E5252A output:
To Connector Plate: Use Agilent 16494A Triaxial Cable.
From Connector Plate to
DUT: Use low noise coaxial cable (Agilent part
number: 8121-1191) for minimizing the
compensation error.
You can also use another type of coaxial cable,
triaxial cable, or combination of these. See
“Using Other than Recommended Cable”.
Using Other than Recommended Cable
If you do not use the low noise coaxial cable (Agilent part number: 8121-1191) for
the connection from Connector Plate to DUT, the Capacitance Compensation
Routine cannot return accurate results. To get more accurate compensation results,
do following:
