Basic function operation

Measurement conditions and parameters

Function

Cp-D is displayed at the FUNC, as shown in figure 4-1. The first character “C” is the main parameter, represents capacitance measurement; the second character “p” represents parallel equivalent model; the last character “D” is the secondary parameter, represents loss factor.

• Main parameter
  The main parameters include AUTO, L (inductance), C (capacitance), R (resistance) and Z (impedance). When selecting AUTO, the instrument will automatically judge whether the measurement is L, C or R according to the measured data. In this case, the secondary parameter cannot be set and the fixed combination is R-X, C-D and L-Q. The equivalent model is automatically switched according to the measurement data. In the measurement page, Press key to switch to the next main parameter（AUTO、R、C、L、Z）, Loop switching.

• Equivalent model
  Equivalent models include s (series) and p (parallel). The actual inductance, capacitance and resistance are not ideal pure reactance or resistance parts. They are usually presented as a composite impedance element. Herein, the part to be measured is equivalent to a simple series or parallel model of two elements, then performs measuring and calculating.

Note : generally, the series equivalent model is used for low impedance parts and the parallel equivalent model is used for high impedance parts.

In the measurement page, Press key to switch the equivalent model（s、p）.

Secondary parameter
The secondary parameters include X (reactance), D (loss factor), Q (quality factor), θ (impedance Angle), and ESR (equivalent series resistance). In the measurement page, Press key to switch to the next secondary parameter（X、D、 Q、θ、ESR）, Loop switching.

Level
There are two ways to set the level.

• Method one: In the LCR page, move the cursor to the LEVEL item with the left and right keys, and then switch to the previous or next level point by pressing the up and down keys (100mV, 300mV, 600mV, 1V, 1.5V, 2V) , Loop
• switching.
  Method two: In the LCR page, press LEVEL key to quickly switch to the next level point, Loop switching.

Bias
In the LCR page, move the cursor to the BIAS item with the left and right keys, press ENTER the input state. The page is shown in figure 4-2.  key to

Display in the BIAS a current bias set (For example, if the front bias is 1V, the bias in the field is 1000mV), Select the numeric digit to be changed by left and right keys, and the selected digit will be displayed in reverse. Change the value of the digit by up and down keys (up keys +1, down keys -1). Press the key ENTER to exit after setting.

Frequency
There are two ways to set the frequency.

• Method one: In the measurement page, move the cursor to the FREQ item with the left and right keys, and then switch to the previous or next frequency point by pressing the up and down keys（The fixed frequency point are:100Hz、120Hz、200Hz、400Hz、800Hz、1k、2k、4k、8k、10k、15k、20k、40K、50K、80K、 100K）, Loop switching. The page is shown in figure 4-3.
• Method two: In the measurement page, press FREG key to quickly switch to the next frequency point, Loop switching.

Range
The instrument range can be set to automatic(AUTO) or locked(LOCK). When the measuring range is set to automatic, the instrument will automatically adjust the appropriate measuring range according to the impedance of the part to be measured. When locked, the range is locked at the current range. In general, it is recommended to use automatic range. Range locked is used for batch testing in the factory to save the stable time of range switching. The usage is as follows: measure one of the part in the range automatically, then lock it in the current range and start batch measurement. There are two ways to set the range.

• Method one: In the measurement page, move the cursor to the RANGE item with the left and right keys, and then switch by pressing the up and down keys（LOCK、AUTO）.
• Method two: In the measurement page, press Range key to quickly switch.

Output impedance
The output impedance is the output impedance of the excitation source, the instrument provides two choices: 30 Ω and 100 Ω. By default, the output impedance is 100 Ω. When output impedance select 30 Ω and the measured impedance is small, overcurrent may occur. As shown in figure 4-4, the main parameter location “– OC –“. In the measurement page, move the cursor to the ROUT item with the left and right key, then by up and down key switch output impedance (30 Ω、100 Ω)

Speed

Sorting mechanism
The machine provides five levels (BIN:1, BIN:2, BIN:3, BIN:AUX, BIN:OUT) for sorting. The sorting process is shown in figure 6-2. P is the main parameter of the measurement result, Pn_L is the low limitof the main parameter of n level (n=1,2,3), Pn_H is the high limit of the main parameter of n level (n=1,2,3), 2nd is the measurement result of the secondary parameter, 2nd_L is the low limit of the secondary parameter, and 2nd_H is the high limit of the secondary parameter. When the main parameter of the measurement results meets the first level and the secondary parameter passes, the sorting result is BIN:1. When the measurement results show that the main parameter does not meet the first level, but the second level, and the secondary parameter passes, the sorting results are BIN:2. When the measured results show that the main parameters do not meet the first and second levels, but meet the third level, and the secondary parameters passes, the sorting results are BIN:3. When the main parameters of measurement results do not meet the first, second and third levels, the sorting results are BIN:OUT. When the main parameters of the measured results meet the first, second or third levels, and the secondary parameters does not pass, the sorting result is BIN:AUX. When the comparator is opened, the sorting results are displayed on the measurement page, as shown in figure 6-3. At the same time, the sorting results are output through the Handler interface.

If the result of sorting is BIN:1, BIN:2, BIN:3, BIN:AUX file, the beep alert will prompt according to the PASS tone setting in the system setting. If the sorting result is BIN:OUT, a beep alert will prompt according to the FAIL tone setting in the system Settings.

In this case, the internal trigger source(INT) is used, regardless of the TRIG source setting in SYSTEM SET page. After each measurement and comparison, the measurement value and comparison result are displayed on the right side of the current sequence number row, as shown in Figure 7-4. The comparison result is I, the measured value is within the low and high limits. The comparison result is H, the measured value is higher than the high limit. The comparison result is L, the measured value is lower than the low limit. Note: when the frequency field is set to disable option, the current sequence number will be skipped directly. If both the high and low limits are in the disable state, there is no comparison result, which is displayed as “–“.

Output the scanning result in the Handler interface.
The list scan results can be output through the Handler. The comparison results of sequence number 1, 2, 3 and 7 can be directly output through the Handler. At the same time, the overall scan results of sequence number 1-7 can also be output through the Handler. At this time, as long as comparison results of H and L appear in sequence number 1-7, it will be judged as the overall unqualified. Clear all scan results each time the measurement of sequence number 1 is started. See 9.3 Handler interface for specific output signals and pins. The list scan result can also give the beep prompt, the comparison result is I, and the beep prompt is based on the PASS tone setting; the comparison result is H, L, the beep prompt is based on the FAIL tone setting. The overall scan result are given in Seq mode, and the comparison results of current sequence numbers are given in Step mode.
