Delay: 0.05sec
Lim: 0.0m-150.0K
ON FAIL: ABORT SEQ
•
2/4-WIRE
. Allows the user to program whether the 2-wire or 4-wire measurement technique is to be
employed.
•
TIME
. Allows the test time period to be programmed (in seconds) or set to be user terminated (with the
START
button) by pressing the
LIMIT
key while this setting is selected.
•
Delay
. Allows the user to program a delay in the test period before the measurement range check is
performed.
•
Lim
. Allows the user to define the range within which the resistance measurement is considered a PASS
during the dwell period.
•
ON FAIL
. Allows the user to program the 95x to abort the entire sequence (ABORT SEQ) or only this step
(CONT SEQ) if this step fails any of its checks. A user abort (
STOP
button) always aborts the entire
sequence.
CONNECTING TO THE DUT
for general wiring and safety recommendations.
The 95x requires that the DUT (at least that portion which is being measured) is floating with respect to ground.
2-WIRE MEASUREMENT CONNECTIONS
When making 2-terminal measurements the resistance of the wires, the contact resistance to the DUT, and the
contact resistance within the 95x front panel terminals are all included in the result, use the following
recommendations to reduce these effects
–
•
Use heavy gage wires.
•
Ensure that the connections to the DUT are clean and are solidly made.
•
Ensure that the connectors on the wires to the 95x are clean and are not loose. If the connectors are left
inserted into the sockets of the 95x front panel for an extended period of time (e.g., a few weeks or more)
then they should be occasionally removed, cleaned, and re-inserted into the 95x to prevent build-up of
corrosion on the connectors.
