Short/ Open Calibration
OPEN/ SHORT Calibration is available to all ranges. Simply press and
hold "
CAL
" button for more than one second to enter the calibration
mode and calibration prompts will be displayed. Follow the prompts for
open connector (
) or short connector (
) connection and press
the "
CAL
" button. After calibration is completed, the meter will be
restored to normal display and ready for normal usage.

The function calibrates the meter’s internal parameters as well as
external connector residues for further measuring. It is highly
recommended to calibrate extremely high or low ranges for L, C and R
before making precision measurements. Calibration prompts will be
displayed automatically every time those ranges are manually or
functionally selected, (e.g.
REL
,
TOL
,
REC
etc.), and calibration is
recommended. Simply
follow the open connector (
)
or short
connector (
) instruction and then press the "
CAL
" button. You
may skip the calibration by pressing the "
D/Q
" button.
Note:
1. Changing measurement frequencies is handled the same as
selecting a different hardware range, and so automatic calibration
prompts will be displayed in the recommended ranges.
2. Be sure to use same test position after short calibration.
