Fixture Compensation

With the 16454A test fixture, you perform only SHORT compensation to correct residual impedance due to the test fixture. OPEN compensation is not performed because errors due to stray admittance are so small that they can be neglected.

1. Press Cal > Fixture Compen > Short (0 Ω 0 H).

2. SHORT compensation data measurement appears as ON - Cal > Fixture Compen > Short  > ON.

3. Verify that the display of the status bar on the bottom of the screen changes to COMP S.
