Push to access these functions:
• (Capacitance)
• (RF Power)
• (Frequency)
• (DCI Ext Shunt)
• (More) opens these additional functions:
o (ACI Ext Shunt)
o (PRT)
o (Thermocouple)
Note
After you push (More), DCI Ext Shunt is made available by
. Push (More) additional times to cycle the choices
again starting with (Capacitance).
Capacitance (8588A only)
WCaution
To avoid possible damage to the Product or to the equipment
under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before you measure capacitance. Use the DC
Voltage function to confirm that the capacitor is discharged.
Push and then (Capacitance) to use the Capacitance Measure
function. This function provides 2-wire measurements that use the V INPUT HI
and LO input terminals. With polarized capacitors, connect the positive side to
LO and the negative side to HI (VΩ|) as shown in Figure 13.
