Calibration Procedures 

Introduction 

Calibration of the 9216A is composed of several parts: open and short circuit calibrations, 
standard resistor calibration, and amplitude calibration.  

The open and short circuit calibrations (described in Volume 1 of this manual) are off-

set corrections to correct for any stray impedances of the test fixture.  These Calibrations 
may be performed at any time and should be done whenever the fixture is changed. 

The standard resistor calibration sets the accuracy of the 9216A, since it allows the 

LCR meter to determine the values of its internal standard resistors.  Standard resistor 
Calibration need only be performed periodically to account for component aging and drift. 

Amplitude calibration sets the amplitude of the AC test signal, and only needs to be 

done periodically. The amplitude calibration does not affect the 9216A’s accuracy. 

Calibration Enable 

The 9216A is shipped with amplitude calibration disabled.  When calibration is disabled 
only the open and short circuit calibrations are allowed.  The internal calibration enable 
jumper must be set to enable amplitude and resistor calibration.  To set the jumper, re-
move  the  9216A  top  cover  by  removing  its  four  retaining  screws  (this  will  break  the 
calibration  seal).    In  the  rear  center  of  the  circuit  board  is  a  three  pin  jumper  labeled 
JP1001.  Use the jumpers to connect the center pin and the "cal" pin to enable calibration.  
Connecting the center pin and the "normal" pin will disable calibration.
