Rohde & Schwarz LCX-K108 - Extended Bias Functions
As standard, the R&S LCX100 and R&S LCX200 generate internal DC bias voltages of up to 10 V. This already allows a wide variety of measurements to be performed.
The R&S LCX-K108 option extends the range of applications. On the one hand, this provides a larger voltage range when using the external bias ports on the rear of the LCR meters. Voltages of up to 40 V, e.g. from an external power supply unit, can be applied at the two 4 mm safety sockets. In this case, the current is protected by means of an externally accessible 0.5 A fine-wire fuse.
On the other hand, this option allows the internal bias source to be operated in current regulation mode with an adjustable current of up to 200 mA.
As with the previously mentioned option, the hardware of the R&S®LCX-K108 option is also already installed. It can be activated using a keycode (to be ordered separately).
