6. Next, do short calibration. Follow instructions
under “Short Calibration” section.
7. Now, the meter should go back to normal
display and user may proceed to take
measurements of components.
Recommendations
To achieve optimal measurement results, both open
and short calibration should be done. It is highly
recommended to calibrate extremely high or low
values for L, C, R and Z before making precision
measurements.
Notes:
1. If test frequency is changed, calibration
should be done again before making precision
measurements. Once calibration is done on a
selected test frequency, calibration data will
remain until power off.
2. Either open or short calibration is not
associated with measurement function,
therefore changing the test function does not
require re-calibration.
3. Re-calibration may be necessary depending
on many factors such as prolonged use,
changing environments, and contact variation
(i.e. alligator test leads or socket contacts).
