2. Test signal level
The test signal (AC) applied may affect the measuring result for some
components. For example, ceramic capacitors are test signal voltage
dependent as shown in Figure -12. This dependency varies depending
on the dielectric constant (K) of the material used to make the ceramic
capacitor.
Figure- 12. AC voltage dependency for Ceramic capacitor
Cored-inductors are test signal current dependent due to the
electromagnetic hysteresis of the core material. Typical AC current
characteristics are shown in Figure-13.
