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).
