3. Insert the transistor terminals into the appropriate socket on the instrument depending
on whether it is NPN or PNP and make sure the E-B-C terminals are inserted properly.
4. Read the hFE value on the display.
Transistor tests
Make sure that the measuring conditions are: base current approx. 10uA V
CE
