Specifying Measurement Conditions

Choosing Whether to Measure the DUT at a Single Point or Multiple Points

Choosing Whether to Measure the DUT at a Single Point or

Multiple Points

Before starting a measurement session with the 4287A, you need to choose whether to

measure the DUT at all points defined in the table or at a single point, that is, list

measurement versus single-point measurement. To make this selection, use the following

command:

• :SOUR:LIST:STAT on page 297

When you choose single-point measurement, you must specify the measurement point,

which must be one of the measurement points defined in the active table. To specify the

single measurement point, use the following command:

• :SOUR:LIST:POIN on page 295

Configuring the Instrument for R

Measurement

Turning on/off the R

measurement function

To specify whether to perform R

measurement, use the following command:

• :SOUR:LIST:RDC on page 296

When the bin sorting function is enabled, turning on R

measurement enables the test

function that determines whether the result of R

measurement falls within the limit range.

Turning on/off the offset cancel function

You can instruct the instrument to turn on or off the offset cancel function by using the

following command:

• :SOUR:LIST:RDC:OFSC on page 296

NOTE To use the offset cancel function, turn ON the offset cancel function before measuring

calibration/compensation data.

Setting the limit range for R

measurement

To set a limit range for R

measurement, use the following command:

• :CALC:COMP:RDC:LIM on page 224
