List of Responses to Measurement Failure
Responses to Measurement Failure
Responses to Measurement Failure
When any of the events listed below is detected, the instrument responds by displaying the
corresponding notification on the LCD screen, outputting the corresponding data through
GPIB, and activating the corresponding handler interface signal, as shown in Table F-1.
• Overload
(This failure condition is detected when the instrument fails in its ranging
performance; for example, when the DUT is detached during measurement.)
•R
dc
out of range
(This failure condition is detected when the R
dc
measurement result falls outside of the
limit range.)
• Overload and R
dc
out of range

*1. All of the measured values including the measurement results for parameters 1 through 4, test signal level moni-
toring, and R

measurement.
*2. In the instrument status area (near the bottom of the screen), an “Ovld” indicator appears in red.
*3. The instrument never detects an overload condition during R
dc
measurement.
*4. Measured values are displayed as usual, but they can be incorrect due to imperfect contact.
*5. Measured values are displayed as usual, but they are highlighted in red.
*6. Measured values are retrieved as usual, but they can be incorrect due to imperfect contact.
