Compensation for Fixture Residual Impedance Error

Compensation for Fixture Residual Impedance Error

The 16048A has inherent stray capacitance, residual inductance, and residual
resistance that affect the accuracy of measured values. To compensate for, or
negate, these residuals to minimize measurement error, the instrument’s
Open/Short compensation procedure should be performed. The procedure is given
in the instrument’s operating manual.
