Verifying the Load Resistance Measurement Function
Summary
Equipment requirements are given in Equipment Requirements and test interconnections
in Interconnections.
The Load Resistance Measurement Function is verified by carrying out measurements of
Reference Resistors in the sequence given in Verification Procedure, at the verification
points shown in Table 9.
Equipment Requirements
•
The UUT Model 9500B with 9510 or 9530 Active Head.
•
A traceable, high-resolution Standards DMM, used to measure resistance at
1 M
Ω
and 50
Ω
, with an accuracy of 0.02 % or better. For example, a Model
1281 Digital Multimeter.
•
An adaptor to convert from BNC to 4mm leads, incorporating switchable 50
Ω
,
and 1 M
Ω
reference loads. For example, a Model 4955 Calibration Adaptor.
•
Short, high-quality 4 mm leads.
Interconnections
Refer to Figure 6.
Verification Setup
1.
Connections:
Ensure that the 9500B is connected to the Standards
DMM as shown in Figure 7, or via a similar BNC-4
mm adaptor and 50
Ω
load, and that both
instruments are powered on and warmed up.
2.
9500B: a.
Ensure that the 9500B is in MANUAL mode and
then select the Load Resistance Measurement
function (From entry default, press the Aux key
on the right of the Front Panel, then the
Θ
soft
key at the bottom left of the screen).
b.
In the
Θ
Menu, select the required output Signal
Channel via the Channel Selection screen.
