2. Starting-up
a.
If the Digibridge includes an optional IEEE-488 interface, set
[
TALK]
switch (rear panel) to
TALK ONL
Y
(un-
less instructions are to be received through the IEEE-488 bus).
b.
Make sure the [
EXTERNAL
BIAS]
is in the
OFF
position.
c.
Press the [
POWER]
button.
The unit runs a brief self-check on start-up.
d.

If a fault is detected, measurements are blocked and an error
code remains displayed. See manual, para
-
graph 3.13. If keyboard lights remain dark, keyboard is locked. T
o unlock it, see manual paragraph 3.9.
To switch power of
f, press the [
POWER]
button.
3. Obtaining optimal accuracy by zeroing
Before making measurements, zero the Digibridge as follows: (No
te: For best accuracy
, repeat this proce-
dure every day
, after each change of frequency
, and after any change of test-fixture adaptors.)
a.
Attach extender cables or whichever test fixture/adapter is appr
opriate.
b.
Create an open circuit by having the spacing b and - ca
ble ends match the spacing of the DUT
terminals. See the figure.
If the spacing of DUT terminals is unknown, make sure that the + and – ends of the cable are at least 0.75” (19 mm) apart.
c.
Confirm that
MEASURE
keyboard light is lit.
d.
Press [
MEASURE MODE]
key to select
TRIGGERED
mode
e.
Press the following keys:
[1] [6] [9] [3] [=] [SHIFT] [OPEN]
.
f.
Press
[ST
ART]
and wait for the green
GO
light.
g.
Create a short circuit across test terminals by connecting all cable ends together as shown in the figure.
h.
Press the following keys:
[1] [6] [9] [3] [=] [SHIFT] [SHORT]
.
i.
Press
[ST
ART]
and wait for the green
GO
light.
At this point, the unit should be ready for taking measurement
s.
If something goes wrong during the zeroing process, the proce
-
dure should be repeated.
4. T
aking measurements
a.
Select measurement conditions as follows: •
[FUNCTION]
key selects
MEASURE
mode
•
[DISPLA
Y]
key selects
VALUE
,
∆%
, or
BIN NO
•
[MEASURE RA
TE]
key selects
SLOW
,
MEDIUM
, or
FAST
•
[MEASURE MODE]
key selects
CONTINUOUS
or
TRIGGERED
•
[EQUIV
ALENT CIRCUIT]
key selects
SERIES
or
PARALLEL
b.
Select impedance to be measured as follows •
[R/Q]
key to show Resistance in the primary display and Quality facto
r in the secondary display
•
[L/Q]
key to show Inductance in the primary display and Quality fact
or in the secondary display
•
[C/D]
key to show Capacitance in the primary display and Dissipation
in the secondary display
•
[C/R]
key to show Capacitance in the primary display and Resistance
in the secondary display
•
To select other parameters, press and hold
[SHIFT]
key and select as appropriate
c.
Connect component to be tested to the test terminals as appropr
iate.
d.
If in the
TRIGGERED
mode, press
[ST
ART]
.
Keep hands and objects at least 10 cm (4 in) from test fixture. If
NEG RLC
lights, the selected parameter is not appropriate for the DUT
and another parameter should be se
-
lected. For example, if the Digirbdige is set to measure capaci
tance, and
NEG RLC
is lit, that means that the DUT
is inductive.
To view relative measurements, the nominal value and the bin lim
its must be first programmed. (See section 5 below
.)
Once the values have been programmed, select one of the followi
ng options by pressing the
[DISPLA
Y]
key:
•
% difference from the nominal value: ∆%
must be lit
•
Dif
ference from nominal in original units (pF
, mH, etc.):
VALUE
and
∆%
must both be lit
•
Assigned bin number: BIN NO must be lit
