3. Choose a capacitance range in accordance to the measured circuit.
Table 2- 7 Measurement Characteristics of Capacitance
Ranges*
2nF, 20nF, 200nF, 2μF, 200μF, 200μF, 10000μF
Input Protection
1000V on all ranges (HI terminal)
Configurable
Parameters
Range, Rel
NOTE*:
All the ranges can obtain a 20% value higher than the original. Both Manual and
Auto are available for setting every range.
4. Set the relative value (Optional operation).
Press
[
Rel
]
to open or close the Relative math function. When it is opened,
the reading displayed is a value which comes from the result of actual
measurement value subtracts the relative value that has been set. The
default relative value is the measurement value when the function is opened.
For details, please refer to “Maths Functions” in Chapter 2.
5. Read the measurement result.
Capacitance measurement is fixed at “Slow” rate. Therefore, you cannot
adjust the reading rate when reading the result.
6. View historical data
There are four methods to view historical data: “Number”, “Bar Meter”
“Trend Chart” and “Histogram”.
NOTE:
Before measuring the electrolytic capacitance, you should make the two legs
of the electrolytic capacitance short circuit and let it be discharged.
