Curve Tracer CS-3000 Series Instruction Manual
4.1 Quick start guide
This section explains examples of measuring device characteristics of a diode, transistor, and FET.
4.1.1 Diode measurement
This section explains procedures to measure the forward characteristics of a diode, the ON
resistance value of a diode using the cursor, and the forward characteristics of a diode.
4.1.1.1
Measuring forward characteristics of diode
Caution!
When starting or finishing measurement, operate CS-3000 as shown below:
When starting measurement, set HIGH VOLTAGE breaker to DISABLED and open the test fixture.
After connecting a measured device, set HIGH VOLTAGE breaker to ENABLED.
After finishing measurement, rotate VARIABLE counterclockwise to set the value to 0% (to discharge
applied voltage).
Set HIGH VOLTAGE breaker to DISABLED.
The diagram on the right in this frame shows
the measurement result of the forward
characteristics based on the diode
performance table below.
In addition, extracts from the performance
table of device characteristics which should be
investigated in advance and the connection
diagram indicating how to connect a measured
device to the attached test adapter are shown.
Diode forward characteristics
Connection diagram
Connect the anode of the diode to the collector terminal
of the test adapter and the cathode to the emitter
terminal. For connection between the test fixture and
CS-3000, see Section 3.3.2.
