Subsequently, the test apparatus 80 according to the present modification determines whether or not the adjustment is completed for the correction value having the smallest time constant (step S19). As a result of the determination, if the adjustment is not completed, the process is repeated from step S15, and if the adjustment is completed, the adjustment process is terminated.
- the test apparatus 80 first adjusts the correction amount force for the differentiation circuit 72 having a long time constant (steps S11 and S15), and the time constant is larger. In this case, adjust the correction value by extending the measurement time (step S22). For this reason, since the test apparatus 80 adjusts the correction amount force that affects a wider band, the adjustment can be efficiently performed.
