Selecting the range
Pressing switches the LCR meter between manual and
autoranging. It also cycles through the available LCR meter
ranges when manual ranging is enabled.
Autoranging is convenient because the LCR meter
automatically selects an appropriate range for sensing and
displaying each measurement. However, manual ranging
results in better performance, since the LCR meter does not
have to determine which range to use for each measurement.
In autorange, the LCR meter selects the lowest range to
display the highest available precision (resolution) for the
input signal. If manual range is already enabled, press
for more than 1 second to enter the autoranging mode.
If autoranging is enabled, press to enter the manual
range mode.
Each additional press of sets the LCR meter to the next
higher range, unless it is already in the highest range, at
which point the range switches to the lowest range.
