4. Start the Measurement2. Impedance Adapter Mode

After the calibration has been performed,
the measurement can be started. Inductance,
capacitance, resistance and quality factor can
directly be measured by changing the measure­ment format to the desired parameter.

Use either Full-Range or User-Range calibration
and perform OPEN, SHORT and LOAD calibration.
Please refer to the next page to learn how to set
up the adapters for each calibration step.

The impedance test adapters B-WIC and B-SMC change your Bode 100 into an easy to use LCR meter.
Magnitude and phase, the series and parallel equivalent circuit parameters, as well as quality factors of
complex impedance values can directly be measured in the full frequency range from 1 Hz to 50 MHz.

The impedance adapters are connected to the
Bode100 using three BNC cables. Please use the
standard cables that come with the Bode 100.

Select the Impedance Adapter measurement
mode in the Bode Analyzer Suite and press Start
Measurement in order to start measuring.
Note that an impedance calibration must be
performed before you can start a measurement.

1. Connection Setup 3. Calibration

Please refer to the Bode 100 User Manual for further details. Additional measurement examples can be
found in the Application Note section of the OMICRON Lab webpage: www.omicron-lab.com

* use the adjusting nut of the B-SMC to ensure the correct distance
(same as DUT size) between needle and plate for the OPEN calibration.

OPEN, SHORT and LOAD calibration must be performed for measurements with B-SMC or B-WIC.

For the calibration, we recommend using the OMICRON Lab calibration objects delivered with the
adapters. The pictures on this page show how to set up the adapters for each calibration step.
