Error Codes
If codes or parameters, originated from bus and transmitted to the meter, are fault, the meter
will terminate the analysis and execution codes. At the same time, error code will be displayed
on LCD and beep will be sound.
Below defines the error description based on the error code.
E10: Unknown command
E11: Parameter Error
E12: Syntax Error
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
This section provides supplemental information for user consideration when operating the LCR
meters. Some recommendations and explanations are provided to help aid in the use of some
functions and features, in which can help the user gain optimal and accurate measurement
results.
Selecting Test Frequency
Test frequency can greatly affect the results of measurement reading, especially when
measuring inductors and capacitors. This section provides some recommendations and
suggestions to consider.
Capacitance
When measuring capacitance selecting, the right frequency is important in obtaining the most
accurate measurement results. Generally, a 1 kHz test frequency is used to measure capacitors
that are 0.01 µF or smaller. For capacitors that are 10 µF or larger, a lower frequency of 120 Hz
is used. Following this trend, high test frequencies are best for testing very low capacitance
components. For large capacitance components, low frequency would be optimal. For
example, if the capacitance of the component is to be in the mF range, than selecting 100 Hz or
120 Hz for test frequency would give much better results. The results will also be obvious
because if the same component was tested with 1 kHz or 10 kHz, the measured readings may
look erroneous on the display.
In all cases, it is best to check with the manufacturer’s data sheet in order to determine the
best test frequency to use for measurement.
Inductance
Typically, a 1 kHz test frequency is used to measure inductors that are used in audio and RF
circuits. This is because these components operate at higher frequencies and require that they
