What to do if measured value doesn’t appear to be correct with Atlas Measuring Instruments?
- S
  Sarah AguilarJul 29, 2025
  If the measured value doesn't seem right, ensure the probes are well connected to the component under test throughout the analysis. Also, make sure nothing else is connected to the component and that you're not touching the connections. The component value might be outside the supported measurement range, or its design frequency may not match the test frequencies used by the LCR40.

How to calibrate Atlas LCR40 if the calibration date is approaching?
- H
  Heather BradleyAug 7, 2025
  If the calibration date is approaching or in the past, there's no need to worry. The LCR40 will continue to function normally after the 'Calibration Due Date.' The date is simply a recommendation.

What to do if measured values vary slightly between tests in Atlas LCR40?
- J
  Jason FaulknerAug 17, 2025
  Slight variations in measured values between tests are normal. The displayed resolution is higher than the measurement resolution to prevent rounding errors. Small variations are expected within the specified measurement resolutions.
