H Impedance Measurements of Magnetic Heads using Constant Current in Production and Quality Control Departments Application Note 369-3 HP 4284A Precision LCR Meter Introduction 2. GO/NO-GO Testing of Several Frequency Points Measuring the impedance of a magnetic head is a The List Sweep function3 allows sweeping of any of valuable technique for checking its quality. This type 10 frequencies. Since it is possible to limit the of measurement involves the following difficulties measurement value per frequency, GO/NO-GO and demands. testing of constant current measurements can easily be performed at several frequencies. It must be possible to conduct constant current measurements at a number of frequency points, 3. A Memory Card Allows for Easy Setups not only in the development department, but also in the production and quality control departments A maximum of ten instrument settings for as well. It should also be easy to change from one measurement conditions can be recorded on a single set of measurement conditions to another when memory card. By preparing measurement conditions testing different devices. for different samples it is easy to go from one type of measurement to another without making mistakes. The additional errors caused by test fixtures, measurement cables, and the like prevent reliable 4. A Powerful Error Compensation Function measurements.
