Setting the Cable Length (Cable Length Correction)
5.1 Setting the Cable Length (Cable Length Correc-
tion)
With high frequency measurement, the influence of the cable results in large measurement errors.
Setting the cable length enables you to reduce the measurement errors. Use a coaxial cable with
50
Ω
impedance.
Before performing correction, be sure to set the cable length.

•
If the cable length changes, repeat open, short, and load correction.
•
The guaranteed accuracy range varies with the cable length. (See"E: Coefficient of the measurement
•
When manufacturing your own cables, make sure that the cable length matches the length set with the
instrument. (See "Points to pay attention to when making your own probe" (p. 35).)
•
When using the L2000, 9140-10, 9500-10, L2001, and 9261-10, set cable length compensation to
1 m
.
