Parallel and Series Measurement Mode
The LCR meter offers the option to select between parallel or series measurement modes.
Depending on which mode is selected, the method used to measure the component will be
different. Additionally, one measurement mode may provide better accuracies over the other
measurement mode depending on the type of component and the value of the component to
be tested. For more details, refer to the “SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION” section.
Default Settings
For Capacitance and Resistance measurements, the default measurement mode is parallel.
For Inductance measurements, the default measurement mode is series.
Selecting Measurement Mode
The measurement mode of the meter is displayed by the indicators “SER” or “PAR” on the LCD
screen. “SER” means meter is in series measurement mode. “PAR” means meter is in parallel
measurement mode. To toggle between the two modes, press and hold down button
for 2 seconds. The indicators on the display should toggle between “SER” and “PAR”.
Tolerance (TOL)
The tolerance mode feature is used for component sorting purposes. Users who need to test
and sort through a large number of components will find this function quite helpful.
Tolerance Range
The tolerance function is configured by range as a percentage, meaning a percentage is used to
define whether a measured value is within tolerance or out of tolerance.
In tolerance mode, the selectable values for sorting are: 1%，5%，10%，20%.
The data indicated in the primary display will be recorded as the nominal value.
The secondary display will display the range of percentage.
Displayed value in percentage: =
100 ∗ (𝑀𝑥 − 𝑁𝑜𝑚)/𝑁𝑜𝑚%
Where, Mx: the primary parameter display;
Nom: the nominal value recorded.
