3.2 How to operate
3.2.1 First Key Functions
1. Parameter Setup:
Press PARA key to select the following measurement
parameter combinations:L-Q, C-D, R-Q and Z-Q.
Units Description:
L
µH
C
pF
R/|Z|
Ω
Table 4-1 Units
|Z| is the absolute value of impedance. Measurement
value of L, C or R may be positive or negative. Negative
capacitance value means that the device under test is
actually an inductor; also negative inductance value
means that the device under test is actually a capacitor. In
theory R should be positive constantly, under some
condition, R may be negative due to over zero correction.
Please carry out correct zero correction.
The maximum number of display digits is 5, but 5-digit is
not always available and 4-digit is displayed sometimes.
The conversion is described in the following description:
From 4-digit to 5-digit:
When the first 2 digit of current value is less than 18.
From 5-digit to 4-digit:
When the first 2 digit of current value is more than 20.
2. Frequency Setup:
Use FREQ key to select the following test frequencies in
turn: 100 Hz, 120 Hz and 1 kHz.
