The 1260 Impedance/Gain-Phase Analyzer uses powerful microprocessor-controlled digital and analog techniques to provide a comprehensive range of impedance and frequency response measuring facilities. These include: ► Single sine drive and analysis of the system or component under test over the frequency range 10μHz to 32MHz. t Measurement integration, and auto-integration, of the analyzer input, for harmonic and noise rejection. ► Sweep facility, for any one of three measurement variables, frequency, amplitude, or bias. ► A comprehensive range of voltage and current transfer characteristics, each one available from the original base data, which includes: • polar, log polar, and Cartesian coordinates of the voltage measurement result, • polar and cartesian coordinates of current transfer characteristics, • polar and cartesian coordinates of impedance and admittance, • inductance or capacitance values, with resistance, quality factor, or dissipation factor, for series or parallel circuits. ► Plotter output, of immediate or filed data, to a digital plotter on the GPIB. » Limit check and data reduction facility. Data output can be confined to those results that fail within, or outside, user-defined values. ► Output ports selectable from: RS 423, GPIB, and the History File. ► Result scaling, that includes: a normalization facility „that separates the desired results from confusing background data; and, for impedance measurements, a nulling facility that compensates for stray capacitance and inductance. ► Vernier facility, which allows the drive to be adjusted whilst measurements are being made. ► Learn program facility, which allows the instrument to learn a series of control settings and commands. ► Component sorting, manual or automatic. ► Self test facility, ► Local control from a simplified key panel, or remote control from the GPIB.
