Example
In this section, we take a measurement of a thin film ceramic capacitor as an example to show
how to measure the capacitance value.
In this example, a ceramic capacitor is measured under the following conditions.
Sample (DUT) Ceramic capacitor
Measurement Conditions:
Function:
Cp-D
Test Frequency: 100 kHz
Test Signal Level: 1V
Step 1
Turn the AT381x ON, AT381x enter enter Meas page
Step 2
Use the cursor key to select
[FUNC]: Press soft key to select Cp-D
[FREQ]: Input 100kHz
[LEVEL]: Input 1V
Step 3
Connect the test fixture ATL601 to the AT381x.
Step 4
Run correction function
Press [Setup] key
Press [Setup] key to enter [CORRECTION] page
Move to the OPEN field by using the cursor keys
Set [Open] to [On]
Don't connect any DUT to ATL601 as shown like this:
Press the [Open Full Correction] button until the progress box reaches 100% and disappears
automatically. The word “Calibration finished” is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Move to the SHORT field by using the cursor keys.
Set [Short] to [On]
Connect a shorting bar to the ATL601.
Press the [Short Full Correction] button until the progress box reaches 100% and disappears
automatically. The word “Calibration finished” is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Correction is finished, users does not need to perform point frequency correction.
