Measuring dissipation, quality, ESR, and
phase angle
The DE-6000 can measure dissipation factor (
D
), quality
factor (
Q
), equivalent series resistance (
ESR
), and phase
angle (
Θ
). These readings are shown in the secondary
display. To select the appropriate measurement, cycle
through the options using the
D/Q/ESR/
Θ
key.
Note: that this function is available in
Auto L
and
Auto
C
modes only. In other modes the
D/Q/ESR/
Θ
key is
disabled.
Example: In
Auto C
mode
