7. The Control Display now shows the amplitude of your capacitance entry. For
example, 123.45 µf (below).
123.45 #F
8. Press E. The calibrator clears your entry from the Control Display and copies
it into the Output Display (below is typical).

9. Press O to activate the calibrator output.
The softkey in the Control Display labeled COMP allows you to select one of three lead-
compensation settings.

• COMP (Compensation) Applies 4-wire compensation, 2-wire compensation or
turns compensation off. Compensation refers to methods of connecting the 5500A to
the UUT to cancel out test lead resistance (NOT capacitance). Compensation is
available for capacitances of 110 nf and above. This softkey will not function below
110 nf. See “Four-wire versus Two-wire Connections” earlier in this chapter for
more information.
