Important: Do not use nuts to secure the BNC sockets to the side 
panel of the enclosure.

Finish the assembly by installing the four rubber feet.

7 • Final adjustments

Connect the Kelvin cables to the BNC connectors. Repeat the Trim 
procedures (§5.10 and §5.11) to compensate for the new, interfering 
components.

The device is now ready for use!

Note: Before a test, at any given frequency, it is possible and 
even desirable, to perform both TRIM corrections by pressing the 
corresponding button (the second from the top). The new param-
eters (as well as those already modified at other frequencies) can 
be saved by a long press on the same button. Saving is indicated 
on the display, e.g. by the message Save the Trim Data..., before 
returning to the measurement screen!

8 • Stand-alone mode

Equipped with the Display board, the device can work without a com-
puter. This is the stand-alone mode. The instrument automatically 
starts in this mode when an external 5 V USB power supply is used. If 
the LCR meter is powered from a PC, it can operate in PC mode, but if 
you want to use it in stand-alone mode, simply press the top button 
on the front panel while powering up the unit (this new mode is 
then stored and no further action is required at the next start up). The 
same action is required to return to PC mode.

When the measurement screen is displayed, the rotary knob (encoder) 
changes the measurement frequency to one of 54 preset values (see 
table in §5).

A long press on the rotary knob allows you to enter the menu for se-
lecting a user frequency (from the current frequency). The number to 
be changed is selected with the two upper buttons while the rotary
