When there are more setups than can fit on the display the page down key is active. If there
is less than a whole page below, the display wraps around to the previous display. Conti-
nuing to page down will eventually return to the first display of setups.
2.6.4.3 Zero
The zeroing process automatically measures stray parameters and retains the data. It is
used to correct measurements, so that results represent parameters of the DUT alone
without test lead or fixture capacitance. Zeroing is recommended at the start of each work
day, or more often if leads, fixture, or test configuration to the DUT is changed. Zeroing
should also be performed anytime the test voltage is changed, which also includes recal-
ling a set of test conditions from memory with a different test voltage. It is important to
note that anytime the instrument is zeroed, it is done at the test voltage currently specified.
When [Zero] is selected in the menu screen and the [Enter] key is pressed, you are promp-
ted by instructions on the display, the first of which is shown in Figure 2-26.
