MEASUREMENT
WARNING
Before measurement, be sure to read the operating
instructions to avoid danger.
LCR-16
1. Place the component in the test fixture.
2. Increase the voltage from the power supply gradually from 0V to
the desired voltage value.
3. Perform measurement on the component.
4. Reduce the power supply voltage gradually from the set voltage to
0V.
5. Remove the component from the test fixture.
LCR-17
1. Place the component in the test fixture.
2. Increase the current from the power supply gradually from 0A to
the desired current value.
3. Perform measurement on the component.
4. Reduce the power supply current gradually from the set current to
0A.
5. Remove the component from the test fixture.

NOTE
Do not remove the BNC cable from the DC Bias input
before turning off power to the test component.
Please note that when using the DC bias fixture, the test
component may cause electric shock.
Do not perform zeroing or short calibration when the DC
Bias input is used.
When the DC Bias input is used, do not turn on the LCR
meter’s internal DC Bias settings.
