Remote operation
Commands that use the
<n>
parameter can use the
MINimum
and
MAXimum
name parameters.
MIN
selects the minimum value and
MAX
selects the maximum value.
Use the following commands to configure temperature measurements:
UNIT <name>
Set temperature units
<name>
= Cel
Celsius
= Far

= K
Kelvin
TCOuple:TYPE <name>
Select the thermocouple type
<name>
= B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, or T
TCOuple:RJUNction:RSELect <name>
Select the reference junction
<name>
= REAL

Front-panel operation
Perform the following steps to measure capacitance:
1. Connect the capacitance to the Model 2110, as shown below.
2. Press the
SHIFT
and
FREQ
(
) keys.
3. Select a measurement range (auto or manual):
•
Autorange is the power-on default. If manual ranging is selected (MAN indicator on), press
SHIFT
and
ESC
(
AUTO
) to select autorange.
•
For manual ranging, press the
RANGE
▲ and ▼ keys to select a measurement range.
4. Observe the reading on the display.
