Probe compensation continued…
When prompted, attach a small length of
tinned copper wire between the two test
probes. Now let the leads rest on a non-
conductive surface, try not to touch them
during the compensation procedure.
When you’re happy that a suitable good link is present
between the probes, briefly press the
enter-off
button.
After a short time, the instrument will ask
you to remove the link from the probes.
At that point, remove the link, rest the probes on a non-
conducting surface and don’t touch them. When you’ve
done that you can briefly press
enter-off
.
If the LCR45 is happy with the measurements that it has taken during the
probe compensation procedure, you will see the following message:

stored.
Please note that probe compensation is particularly important when
analysing low value inductors, capacitors and resistors.
