8.
Push
. The Calibrator erases your entry from the Control Display and copies
it into the Output Display (below is typical).
gvx097f.eps
9.
Push
to start the Calibrator output.
The softkeys let you select three lead-compensation settings and ohms zero (see below).

•
OHMS ZERO
Push to recalibrate internal circuitry for the ohms function (allow
several minutes).
•
COMP
(Compensation) Applies 4-wire compensation, 2-wire compensation or turns
compensation off. Compensation is available for resistances to (but not including)
110 k
Ω
. See “Four-Wire versus Two-Wire Connections” in this chapter.
Set Capacitance Output
Complete the subsequent procedure to set a synthesized capacitance output at the front
panel NORMAL terminals. If you make an entry error, push
to clear the display,
then reenter the value.
1.
Push
to clear any output from the Calibrator.
2.
Connect the UUT as in the “Connect the Calibrator to a UUT” section of this chapter.
Also see “Cable Connection Instructions” for a procedure to null out stray
capacitances due to the test cable connections.
Note
Since this is a synthesized output, be sure the terminal connections from the
Calibrator to the UUT are LO to LO and HI to HI.
3.
Set the UUT to measure capacitance on the necessary range.
4.
Push the numeric keys and decimal point key to record the necessary capacitance
output (maximum five numeric keys). For example, 123.45.
