General Information
Introduction
This operation note provides the information for operating and maintaining the HP 16048B T
est
Leads
.
Description
The HP 16048B is a direct attachement, 4-terminal pair type xture which is equipped with
four SMC(f) terminated coaxial test leads. These test leads are used to attach user-fabricated
test xtures to the instruments.
The HP 16048B has been designed for use with the following instruments:
HP 4263B LCR Meter
HP 4278A 1kHz /1MHz Capacitance Meter
HP 4279A 1MHz C-V Meter
HP 4284A Precision LCR Meter
HP 4285A Precision LCR Meter
HP 4192A LF Impedance Analyzer
HP 4194A Impedance / Gain Phase Analyzer
The HP 16048B has inherent stray capacitance
,residual inductance and residual resistance that
aect the accuracy of measured value
.The measurement errors caused by these residuals
are minimized by using the instrument's error correction functions
.The measurement
accuracy when the open, short, and cable length corrections are performed is described in the
specications section of the instrument's operation manual.

Operation
Setup and measurement procedure
1. Connect the HP 16048B directly to the UNKNOWN terminals of the instrument.
2. Connect the user-fabricated test xture to the test leads.
3. P
erform the cable length correction (Set the cable length to 1 meter).
4. P
erform the open/short correction at the measurement terminal of the test xture
.
Then you can perform measurement at the test xture
.
F
or more detail about the cable length correction and open/short correction procedure
,refer to
the instrument's operation manual.
Using the connector plate
The connector plate is furnished with the HP 16048B.Figure 1-2 shows an example to use the
connector plate with the HP 16048B.By connecting the HP 16048B to the connector plate
,the
HP 16048B's outer shield conductors are connected together to construct the four-terminal-pair
measurement circuit conguration. F
or more detail about the four-terminal-pair measurement,
refer to the instrument's operation manual.
