● Method of determining basic accuracy
● Calculation example
Impedance Zx of sample: 500 Ω (actual measurement value)
• Calculate the basic accuracy from the sample impedance, measurement
range, and measurement frequency and the corresponding basic accuracy
A and coefficient B from the table above.
Measurement conditions: When frequency 10 kHz and range 1 kΩ
Insert coefficient A = 0.2 and coefficient B = 0.02 for the Z basic accuracy
from the table above into the expression.
•
The calculation expression to use differs for each of the 1 kΩ range and
above and 100 Ω range and below.

•
For C and L, obtain basic accuracy A and coefficient B by determining the
measurement range from the actual measurement value of impedance or the
approximate impedance value calculated with the following expression.
1 = 0.28 (± %rdg.

Z basic accuracy = 0.2 + 0.02

Similarly, insert coefficient A = 0.1 and coefficient B = 0.02 for the θ
basic accuracy, as follows:

The guaranteed accuracy range during DC bias operation is 10 mΩ or greater. The accuracy for DC resistance (Rdc) measurement is guaranteed only when offset values are acquired. The guaranteed accuracy range varies
with the sample’s impedance.
