5. Push a multiplier key (preceded with the key) for the necessary output. For
example, push then for μF. The other multiplier keys include for pF
and for nF.
6. Push .
7. The Control Display shows the amplitude of your capacitance entry. For example,
123.45 μF (see below).

8. Push . The Calibrator erases your entry from the Control Display and copies
it into the Output Display (below is typical).

9. Push to activate the Calibrator output.
The softkey in the Control Display named COMP lets you select one of three
lead-compensation settings (see below).

• COMP (Compensation). Applies 2-wire compensation or turns compensation off.
Compensation refers to methods of connection the Calibrator to the UUT to cancel
out test lead resistance (NOT capacitance). Compensation is available for
capacitances of 110 nF and above. This softkey does not function in less than 110 nF.
