Setting Measurement Conditions (basic settings)
For setting range and accuracy
Open circuit voltage (V) mode and Constant voltage (CV) mode setting
Normal operation
When low Z high accuracy mode
(p. 56) is on
Open circuit voltage setting range 0.010 V to 5.000 V 0.010 V to 1.000 V
Open circuit voltage accuracy
1 MHz or less: ±10% rdg. ±10 mV,

For some samples, you may not be able to perform constant-voltage measurement (measurement in con -
stant-voltage mode) In this situation, the following error will be displayed:
Constant voltage measurement will not be performed. Change the constant-voltage value to a value that is
less than or equal to the value displayed for Vac .
(Example: Constant-voltage measurable range when measuring a C value of 1 µF at 10 kHz)
The sample impedance
Zm
is as follows:
Zm = Rm + jXm = 0 [
Ω
] - j15.9 [
Ω
] Xm =

(2πfC )
The impedance
Zm’
as seen from the instrument’s voltage generator is as follows:
Zm’ = Ro + Zm = 100[

] -

Accordingly, the voltage Vm across both leads of the sample is as follows:

Since the instrument’s voltage generator output range is 10 [mV] to 5 [V] as per the above table, the con -
stant-voltage measurable range is
Vm
= 1.6 [mV] to 0.78 [V] based on the above formula.
When low Z high accuracy mode is enabled, the output resistance
Ro
will be 10 [

].
