1 Operation This operating note provides complete information on the 16048A Test Leads. The 16048A is shown pictorially in Figure 1-1, its physical dimensions are given in Table 1-1, and typical characteristics related to offset error are given in Table 1-2. To order additional copies of this operating note, use the part number listed on the rear cover.
Operation Product Description Product Description The 16048A consists of a direct attachment, 4-terminal pair type fixture which is equipped with four BNC (m) terminated-coaxial test leads. These test leads are used to attach user-fabricated test fixtures. DC bias levels of up to ±40V can be applied to the 16048A. Cable length is 1 meter. The 16048A is shown in Figure 1-1.
Operation Specifications Specifications Table 1-1 Specifications of the 16048A Function: For use with 4 terminal-pair LCR Meters and Impedance Analyzers. Connector Type: BNC male Cable Length: Approximately 1m Maximum Voltage: ± 40V peak max. (AC+DC) Weight: 315 g Safety Standards: EN61010-1:1993 +A2:1995 IEC61010-1:1990 +A1:1992 +A2:1995 CSA C22.2 No.1010.
Operation Typical Characteristics Typical Characteristics Table 1-2 Typical Characteristics Incremental error at freq. ³1 MHz Parameter reading error (%) f 2 ± 5 ´ æ ------ö è 10ø NOTE Offset value for D f ± 0.02 ´ æ ------ö è 10ø 2 f is the measurement frequency in megahertz. The incremental errors calculated from the equation in the table for measurements at frequencies above 1 MHz are additive.
Operation Compensation for Fixture Residual Impedance Error Compensation for Fixture Residual Impedance Error The 16048A has inherent stray capacitance, residual inductance, and residual resistance that affect the accuracy of measured values. To compensate for, or negate, these residuals to minimize measurement error, the instrument’s Open/Short compensation procedure should be performed. The procedure is given in the instrument’s operating manual.
