Compensation and Measurement: Before
measurement, a device guide, which is fabri-
cated to fit the DUT’s size must be prepared.
The method of preparation is described in the
operation manual. The contact board and the
device guide must be connected to the 16043-
60011/12. This is easily accomplished by
using the guide pin and screws. For highly
precise measurements, it is recommended to
perform open and short compensation. Open
compensation is performed, by placing noth-
ing between the high and low terminals of
the contact board. For short compensation,
short the high and low terminals and do not
contact the G terminal with the short bar. It
is necessary to construct a short bar, which
matches the DUT’s size. The following fig-
ures show how compensation and measure-
ment are performed.
Necessary Accessories:
(for 16043-60011)
(for 16043-60012)
The parts listed above are not furnished as
standard. These parts should be ordered
separately. The operation and service
manual is also not furnished as standard.
The manual is downloadable from Agilent
website (www.agilent.com). Search the
web using the keyword “16043A” or
“16043B”.
Up to 110 MHz (4-Terminal Pair) SMD
Performing short compensation
1. Place the short bar on the electrodes. Make sure that
the short bar does not connect the G terminal.
2. Lower the pressure arm to hold the short bar in place.
3. Perform short compensation data measurement.
1. Align the DUT with the device guide and place it on
the contact board.
2. Lower the pressure arm to hold the DUT in place.
3. Adjust the contact pressure using the pressure regulat-
ing screw.
4. Measure.

1. Necessary when used with the 4294A.
2. Necessary when used with the 4279A, 4284A, 4285A. When used with
other LCR meters, the support angle is unnecessary.
3. Order the appropriate contact board according to the DUT size.
