LEVEL MENU

Use this menu to set desirable test signal level. 

Default value is 1.0 Vrms. 

Note: 

1.0 Vrms is equal to 2.8   Vp-p

MODEL MENU

Any non-ideal component can be represented as a resistive 

component in series or in parallel with a reactive component. 

Depending upon the characteristics of the component the series or 

parallel model will be more accurate. In most cases, parts are best 

approximated by the series model. Manufacturers often specify 

which representation should be used when testing their devices.
The LCR meter can display Automatic (A) Parallel (  S  ) or Series (  P  ) 

model data. Use this menu to choose the parallel and series model. 
Series model is set as the default setting

TOLERANCE MENU

This function is designed for component sorting. It checks whether the 

measured component is within preset tolerance from the reference 

component. The tolerance ranges available are 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20%.
