Source Output Impedance [SRC RES]
The source internal resistance is also called the output impedance.
The Source output impedance can be set to 30
Ω
, 50
Ω
or 100
Ω
.
After the test level Vs is set, the test current is flowing through the device under test (DUT) will
be determined by the impedance Zx=Rx+jXx of the DUT and the source internal resistance Rs,
namely:

Since some measured components such as high-permeability magnetic core inductors will
vary in the magnitude of the test current, that is, they have current sensitivity, different
internal resistances will inevitably lead to measurement results at the same test level. Output
internal resistance selectable function is to facilitate get relatively consistent measurement
results for current sensitive devices. The instrument uses two low source output internal
resistances, with a default value of 100
Ω
.
The internal resistance of KEYSIGHT's LCR meter (e.g. E4980A) is 100
Ω
. Users who need to
compare with such instruments need to change the internal resistance of the instrument to
obtain data uniformity.
For non-current sensitive, especially low impedance test objects, we recommend using 30
Ω
source internal resistance.

Averaging Factor [AVG]
Taking "average" is the most common type of digital filter, the "number" is the depth of the
filter. The purpose is to perform multiple measurements and take the average result as the
final display value, which can improve the stability and reliability of the measurement results.
You can specify the averaging factor from integer 1 to integer 256.
To set up the averaging factor:
