Capacitance Characteristics
Accuracy Specifications ±( % of reading + % of range ) 
[1]
[ 1 ] Specifications are for 90 minute warm–up using Math Null. Additional errors may occur for 
non–film capacitors.
[ 2 ] Specifications are for 1% to 120% of range on the 1 nF range and 10% to 120% of range on all other 
ranges.
