D. Exclusive Fixture

When an exclusive test fixture is connected to the 7-mm port of the 42942A Terminal Adapter, which is connected to the four-terminal pair port of the E4990A, and a device is connected to the test fixture, perform the calibration procedure described below.

This calibration procedure is applied when the following test fixtures are connected to the 42942A's 7-mm port:

  1. Make sure that the adapter selection is set to 7mm 42942A.  Perform Adapter Setup if it is not done yet.

  2. When performing calibration for the 7-mm port of the E4990A with a user-defined calibration kit, be sure to use the proper calibration kit. Refer to User Calibration. User calibration is not required if you do not use a user-defined calibration kit.

  3. Connect a test fixture to the 7-mm port of the 42942A Terminal Adapter. See the operation manual of each test fixture for the appropriate connection setup.

  4. Perform the fixture compensation at the device contacts (electrodes) of the fixture. See Fixture Compensation for the fixture compensation procedure.
