The open circuit compensation and short circuit compensation value is saved at
varying values depending on the measured frequency, signal level, and fre-
quency shift settings.
If these settings are changed and a measurement value has not been taken with
the changed measurement conditions, open circuit compensation and short cir-
cuit compensation will be turned OFF.
However, when the frequency shift or cable length setting is changed, open cir-
cuit compensation and short circuit compensation are set to OFF for all mea-
surement conditions.
