Measurement setups

Measuring components requires the use of suitable measurement adapters, referred to
as test fixtures.

About test fixtures

Test fixtures provide precise measurements of electronic components, such as passive
components, either with lead wires or SMD modules. They are designed to hold or
directly connect the measurement samples.

All test fixtures provided for connecting to the R&S

 

LCX feature the 4 terminal pair

measurement method.
