11. Call niDMM_ConfigureMeasurement with the following

parameters:

•Function = NIDMM_VAL_CAPACITANCE

•Range = 300e-12

•Resolution = 50e-15

12. Set the number of averages of the NI4072 to 20 by calling

niDMM_SetAttributeViInt32 with the following parameters:

•Attribute_ID = NIDMM_ATTR_LC_NUMBER_MEAS_TO_AVERAGE

•Attribute_Value = 20

13. Call niDMM_Read. Verify that this measurement falls between the

tolerances listed in Table22.

Note If you use capacitance verification values that differ from the values listed in

Table10, verify that each measurement falls between the tolerances listed in Table 22.

Thet olerances shown in Table22 correspond to the NI 4072 accuracy specifications.

14. Remove the 270pF verification capacitor, and plug the 1 nF

verification capacitor into the HI and LO banana plug connectors of the

NI4 072.

15. Call niDMM_ConfigureMeasurement with the following

parameters:

•Function = NIDMM_VAL_CAPACITANCE

•Range = 1e-9

•Resolution = 100e-15

16. Set the number of averages of the NI4072 to 20 by calling

niDMM_SetAttributeViInt32 with the following parameters:

•Attribute_ID = NIDMM_ATTR_LC_NUMBER_MEAS_TO_AVERAGE

•Attribute_Value = 20

Note If you use capacitance verification values that differ from the values listed in

Table10, verify that each measurement falls between the tolerances listed in Table 22.

Thet olerances shown in Table22 correspond to the NI 4072 accuracy specifications.

17. Call niDMM_Read. Verify that this measurement falls between the

tolerances listed in Table22.

18. Call niDMM_ConfigureMeasurement with the following

parameters:

•Function = NIDMM_VAL_CAPACITANCE

•Range = 10e-9

•Resolution = 1e-12
