Features and Functions 2
U1731B/U1732B User’s and Service Guide 13
Data Hold
The data- hold function allows the user to freeze the display. To enter this
mode, press the HOLD key. Press the key again to release.
Static Recording
Press the REC key for more than one second to enter the static recording
mode. The maximum and minimum readings are then stored in memory.
The beeper will beep once when a new reading has been recorded. Press
the same key to cycle through the maximum, minimum, and average of the
present readings.
The MAX, MIN, or AVG annunciator will appear on the display to indicate
which value is being displayed. Whenever the MAX AVG MIN anunciators
appear on the display simultaneously, the display reading is always a
present value.
To exit this mode, press and hold the key for more than one second.
Dissipation Factor/Quality Factor/Phase Angle
The D/Q/ q values can be displayed interchangeably by pressing the D/Q/
q key when the LCR meter is set to inductance or capacitance mode. This
setting does not apply to resistance measurement. The phase angle mode
(q) is only available for the U1732B.
1 Static recording captures only stable values and updates the memory; it will not record any
overload (OL) value for any of the LCR functions. In addition, the LCR meter will not record values
below 50 counts in capacitance measurement.
2 Static recording is only available in manual ranging; however, activation while in auto-ranging will
automatically set the LCR meter to manual ranging and cause calibration prompts to be displayed
in the recommended ranges.
