MEASURING IMPEDANCE (|Z|)
All circuit components, resistors, capacitors, and inductors
have parasitic components. Thus, simple components
should be modeled as complex impedances.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE:
Dirt or moisture on the
tips may affect measurement accuracy. Clean the tips
regularly. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
To clean the tips:
1. Shake off any dirt that may be on the tips.
2. Soak a swab in alcohol. Work the swab around each tip.
