 The main graphics area is where the measured results are displayed. The impedance magnitude and angle along with the real and imaginary parts are drawn on the polar ( circular ) grid in Ohms. The real, series resistance component is drawn in green at 0 degrees phase. The imaginary part of the series impedance is drawn in red at either +90 degrees or -90 degrees depending on the sign. A positive impedance is inductive and an negative impedance is capacitive. The combined magnitude of the total series impedance is drawn in orange and at the measured angle. The main graphics area is where the measured results are displayed.

-To the left of the grid the relative gain of Channel B to Channel A is displayed in dB. Next the relative phase is displayed in degrees. Next the measured frequency in Hz is displayed. Next the measured Impedance Magnitude, Angle, R series and X series are displayed. Finally the calculated capacitance ( if X series is negative ) or inductance ( if X series is positive ) is displayed.+To the right of the gridthe relative gain of Channel B to Channel A is displayed in dB.

 At the bottom of this section, just above the ADI logo, are entry windows which allow input gain and offset calibration to be added to the channel A and B inputs. For more on the use of input attenuators please refer to the following two documents: At the bottom of this section, just above the ADI logo, are entry windows which allow input gain and offset calibration to be added to the channel A and B inputs.
