OPEN
and
SHORT
Compensation
The
16089E
has
inherent
stray
capacitance
,
residual
inductance
,
and
residual
resistance
that
aect
the
measurement.
T
o
cancel
the
eects
caused
by
these
residuals
and
thus
minimize
their
eect
on
measurement
accuracy
,
the
instrument's
OPEN
and
SHORT
compensation
capabilities
must
be
used.
The
procedures
are
described
in
the
instrument's
operation
manual.

Making
a
Shorting
Condition
for
the
16089E
Shorting
Bar
The
short
bar
should
have
very
low
residual
impedance
,
so
a
high
conductivity
metal
plate
that
is
not
easily
corroded,
must
be
used
to
construct
the
shorting
bar
.
(It
must
be
clean.)
