OFF: Disables the open compensation function.
ALL: Acquires the open compensation value and sets the open compensation function to ALL compensation.
SPOT: Acquires the open compensation value at the set SPOT compensation frequency, and sets the open compensation function to SPOT compensation.
CANCEL: Cancels the acquisition of the compensation value.

Query

An execution error occurs if a command to change the environment settings is executed during compensation.
Also, try your hardest to avoid executing commands other than ones for checking each status register (*ESR?, :ESR0? ,etc.).
A cancellation command is only valid during open compensation.
In the following cases, the load compensation value cannot be acquired and an execution error occurs.

  • When performing measurement with an internal trigger in LCR mode
  • When performing measurement with an external trigger in LCR mode

:CORRection:OPEN:ERRor?

Response

:CORRECTION:OPEN:ERROR 6  (when HEADER ON)
6  (when HEADER OFF)
Open compensation ended in a state in which the range has not been determined.And the setting of cable-length may include a mistake.

Note

If [bit0=1] is returned for this command, the compensation is canceled because a compansation state of measurement cable is abnormal.Please retry compensation, refer to "section 5.4" in the instruction manual.
If [2] is returned for this command, the compensation value is being acquired in the state in which auto ranging has not determined the range.
In particular, symptoms such as this may occur if compensation is executed in an environment subject to a lot of noise.
For the countermeasures against noise, see "Appendix External Interference" in the instruction manual.
Also, use guarding when testing high impedance elements.
See "Appendix Measurement of High Impedance Components" in the instruction manual.
If [bit2=1] is returned for this command, the setting of cable-length may include a mistake.Please check whether cable-length matches the setting of cable-lenth.The distinction of the cable-length uses a voltage monitor level.It may not be distinguished definitely due to a kind of the cable, the length of the cable and an impedance level at the time of the open compensation.

Explanation

Command

Query

  • Returns all of the measurement values saved to memory with the measurement value memory function.
  • The measurement results for up to 32,000 measurements can be saved to memory.
  • Executing this command will clear the contents of memory. To clear the contents of memory before acquiring the contents of memory, use the :MEMory:CLEar command.
  • The formats of the memory contents are the same as the response data formats of :MEASure? query. For details on the formats, refer to the explanation for the :MEASure? query.
  • A message terminator or slash (/) is inserted between memory items.

    In the case of :MEMory?Message terminator
    In the case of :MEMory? ALLSlash (/)

  • The number of data items currently saved to memory can be confirmed with the :MEMory:COUNt? query.
  • When the trigger setting is set to the internal trigger, the number of data items acquired with the :MEMory:COUNt? query may differ from that acquired with this command. To use the :MEMory:COUNt? query, set the trigger setting to the external trigger.
  • When the trigger setting is set to the internal trigger, the measurement values of measurements performed while the memory values are being returned with this command may not be able to be saved. Set the external trigger when acquiring memory values and do not perform measurement until acquiring of all the memory values is complete.
  • When memory becomes full, no more measurement values can be saved. To save new measurement values, use this command to read the contents of the memory or clear the contents of memory with the :MEMory:CLEar command.
