3 Features and Functions
Capacitance
The Capacitance measurement option will only be available when Scan is selected as the acquisition mode.
This section describes how to configure the selected channel for capacitance measurements from the front panel.
1. Connect capacitance source to the module's screw terminals.
2. Press [Channel] > Measure, and select CAP from the selection menu.
3. Press Range and use the knob or the front panel arrow keys to specify the measurement range. Auto (autor-
ange) automatically selects the range for the measurement based on the input. Autoranging is convenient, but
it results in slower measurements than using a manual range. Autoranging goes up a range at 120% of the
present range, and down a range below 10% of the present range.

Description
Selects whether the delay between channels in the scan list will be automatically or manually selected. By
selecting
Auto , instrument will automatically determine the channel delay based on measurement function,
range, integration time, and AC filter setting. By selecting
inserted between the relay closure and the actual measurement on each channel, in addition to any delay
that will implicitly occur due to relay settling time.
Time , the specified delay (time in seconds) is
