Instruments
This section species the compatible instruments used with the
16451B and their measurement frequency ranges and error correction
functions . Y ou should choose an instrument while considering
measurement frequency range , capacitance measurement accuracy ,
error function, etc . T able 1-2 lists the measurement frequency ranges
for these instruments when they are used with the 16451B . F or more
information, refer to the technical data sheet of each instrument.

*1
The upper frequency of the 4194A is 40 MHz but it is limited to 30
MHz when used with the 16451B.
*2
The upper frequency of the 4294A is 110 MHz but it is limited to 15
MHz when used with the 16451B.
Error Correction
Each of the compatible instruments has the error correction function
to correct error due to a test xture . T able 1-3 lists error correction
functions of these instruments . The names of the OPEN/SHORT/LO AD
error corrections do not match between instruments , but the
performance is the same . LO AD correction can reduce the error such
as a negative D (dissipation factor) value , which can not reduced
by OPEN/SHORT correction. When the above-mentioned error is
occurred (a test material whose dissipation factor is very small is
measured), use the instrument which provides the LO AD correction
function.
