Measuring Capacitance
This section describes how to configure capacitance measurements.
Operating Steps:
1.
Enable the capacitance measurement.
Press
on the front panel to enter capacitance measurement mode.
2.
Connect the test lead.
Capacitance
Tip:
Please short contact the two feet of an electrolytic capacitor by using a test lead
before measuring the electrolytic capacitor.
3.
Set the range.
Press the Range softkey to set the range. Auto range automatically selects the range
for the measurement based on the input.
Note:
1000 V input protection is available in all ranges.
XDM3051: 20% over range for all ranges except
10000 μF
range.
XDM3041: 10% over range for all ranges except
10000 μF
range.
If the reading exceeds 105
00 μF
in
10000 μF
range, "overload" will be displayed.
4.
Set the relative value.
(Advanced operation)
Press the Rel softkey to turn on or off the relative operation. For relative operation,
the multimeter subtracts the pre-specified value of REL operation from the actual
measurement result and displays the result. See page 31,
Relative Value
.
