class Kt34400Capacitance

Kt34400Capacitance interface.

property auto_range

Disables or enables autoranging for capacitance measurements.

Access:

ReadWrite

Type:

AutoZero

property auto_range_enabled

Enables or disables auto ranging for capacitance measurements.

Access:

ReadWrite

Type:

bool

configure(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. configure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400Capacitance, range: float, resolution: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Resolution) -> None

   Configures the meter for capacitance measurements.

   Parameters:

   • range (float) - Desired range in Farads. Valid values are from 1 nF to 10 uF. Positive values only.

   • resolution (Resolution) - Measurement resolution. Select from Least (4.5 digits), Default (5.5 digits) and Best (5.5 digits). Higher resolutions (5.5 digits) result in slower measurement speeds.

   Returns:

   None

   remarks:

   This method resets all capacitance measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values. Then, it configures the meter for capacitance measurements but does not initiate the measurement.

   Input range is from 10 nF to 10 mF.

   Instrument can automatically select the measurement range using Kt34400.range .

   If the input value is greater than can be measured on the selected range then it returns "9.9E+37".

2. configure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400Capacitance) -> None

   Configures the meter for capacitance measurements. Range is AUTO.

   Parameters:

   Returns:

   None

3. configure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400Capacitance, range: float, resolution: float) -> None

   Sets all measurement and trigger parameters to their default values for capacitance measurements. Also specifies the range.

   Parameters:

   • range (float) - Selects a fixed range for capacitance measurements.

   • resolution (float) - Measurement resolution. User can specify 4.5 digits, 5.5 digits (Default) and 6.5 digits. 6.5 digits result in slower measurement speeds.

   Returns:

   None

measure(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. measure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400Capacitance, range: float, resolution: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Resolution) -> float

   Performs a single capacitance measurement.

   Parameters:

   • range (float) - Desired range in Farads. Valid values are from 1 nF to 10 uF. Positive values only.

   • resolution (Resolution) - Measurement resolution. Select from Least (4.5 digits), Default (5.5 digits) and Best (5.5 digits). Higher resolutions (5.5 digits) result in slower measurement speeds.

   Returns:

   The measured value in F (farads).

   Return type:

   float

   remarks:

   This method resets all capacitance measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values. Then, it configures the meter for capacitance measurements but does not initiate the measurement.

   Input range is from 1 nF to 10 mF.

   Instrument can automatically select the measurement range using Kt34400.range .

   If the input value is greater than can be measured on the selected range then it returns "9.9E+37".

   Timeout may need to be adjusted using Kt34400.io_timeout for executing this method.

2. measure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400Capacitance) -> float

   Performs a single capacitance measurement. Range is AUTO.

   Parameters:

   Returns:

   The measured value in F (farads).

   Return type:

   float

   remarks:

   Timeout may need to be adjusted using Kt34400.io_timeout for executing this method.

3. measure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400Capacitance, range: float, resolution: float) -> float

   Sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values for capacitance measurements and immediately triggers a measurement.

   Parameters:

   • range (float) - Selects a fixed range for capacitance measurements.

   • resolution (float) - Measurement resolution. User can specify 4.5 digits, 5.5 digits (Default) and 6.5 digits. 6.5 digits result in slower measurement speeds.

   Returns:

   The measured value.
