ALIBRATION

Overview

Background

Calibration (trimming) eliminates stray
capacitance and series impedance from the testing
fixture. It is required when using the instrument in
a new environment, or using a new set of testing
fixtures.

O/C trimming

The testing fixture clips are separated by a distance
equal to the normal testing position.

S/C trimming

The testing fixture clips are connected by a piece of
wire or a component lead (but no direct connection
between the clips).
