There is some small capacitance offset due to capacitance of the tips. The
offset depends on the distance between the tips (i.e. measured component
size). The offset value should be used in calculation of the actual capacitance.
Table below shows typical offset values for different component sizes:

In AUTO mode ST automatically selects the best test frequency and is
capable of measuring inductance from 1 μH to 1kH. To measure inductance
lower than 5μH or more than 500mH select test frequency manually:
