Measurement process
Measurement process
This section uses AC measurement of a laminated ceramic capacitor as an example to provide an
overview of the instrument’s functionality.
Items to be prepared:
9263 SMD Test Fixture, Laminated ceramic capacity you want to measure
1
Inspect the instrument before measurement. (p. 33)
2
Connect the power cord to the instrument. (p. 34)
3
Turn on the power. (p. 36)
(A 60-minute warm-up period is necessary before performing the correction process de -
