4.2 Setting Basic Settings of Measurement Conditions
56
Depending on the measurement signal level, in some cases it is possible to damage the sample which is
being tested by applying to it a voltage or a current greater than its rated value.
For this reason, set a limit value to restrict the voltage that can be applied to the test sample or current that
can flow to the test sample. Enabling the limit function will result in increased measurement times due to use
of software feedback control.
4.2.3 Limiting the Voltage and Current Applied to the
Sample (Limit Values)
When open circuit voltage (V) mode or
constant voltage (CV) mode is set:
Set the current limit.
When constant current (CC) mode is set: Set the voltage limit.
Procedure
LCR Measurement Screen
• You can check the measurement signal level on the monitor display.
• The monitor display is different for V, CV, and CC.
First set the measurement signal level, and thereafter set the voltage or current limit.
The setting for voltage or current limit changes automatically to current or voltage limit,
according to the present measurement signal mode setting.
