Outstanding Features
- Measures extremely low loss down to a dissipation factor of 1.5x10-8 tan d, a conductance of 3x10-7 nanosiemens or a resistance up to 1.7x106 gigohms
- As little as 0.4 second required for full precision measurements and as little as 30 ms required for repeated measurements on the same sample
- Fast analog output has a frequency response of 3 kHz at 3 dB down
- Negative capacitance and loss ranges measure negative values to allow for unusual samples or three terminal networks
- Commutation (test signal reversal) to minimize external power line or other periodic signal pickup
- Three terminal BNC connections minimize connector costs and number of cables
- IEEE-488 GPIB and IEEE-1174 serial interfaces included; remote device can act as controller or logger
- Programmability can eliminate the need for an external controller
- Large, variable-brightness displays having 8 digits for capacitance and loss and 5 digits for frequency
- Deviation measurements of capacitance, loss or both
- Zero correction of test fixture capacitance and loss
- External DC bias up to ±100 volts
- External trigger capability
- NIST or NPL traceable calibration
- Autoranging
- Automatic internal calibration
- Self-test diagnostics on power-up and by command
- Three year warranty
