Test Frequency Mode Selection
When the LCR operation mode has been selected, you may be prompted to
select your desired test frequency mode.
You will not be asked to select a test frequency mode if you previously
selected
for the LCR operation mode as that is fixed to DC.
– The LCR45 will attempt to use the most appropriate test
frequency to suit the component being tested. This is generally the best option
for most requirements. It will automatically and dynamically select between
DC, 1kHz, 15kHz and 200kHz.
– This option is available if you previously selected
for
the measurement mode, this is ideal for large capacitances such as
electrolytics (generally >7µF). It is not possible to display Impedance,
Admittance or Mag/Phase if the test frequency is set to DC.
,
and
Selecting a fixed test frequency is particularly
useful if you know that the component under test is designed for a specific
frequency range (such as audio frequencies for example). Please be aware that
the measurement range and the measurement resolution will be influenced by
the chosen test frequency.
When you’ve found your desired frequency mode, press the
enter-off
button to store the setting.
