Connecting Measurement Leads or Electrode to Object to Be Measured
3.5 Connecting Measurement Leads or Electrode to
Object to Be Measured
Be sure to read “Before connecting the measurement leads or electrode to an object to be
measured” (p. 12) beforehand.
Connect the measurement leads or electrode (both are optional) to the object to be measured.
Measurement xtures can be available depending on the object to be measured.
Using measurement xtures is
recommended
• Objects to be measured (components, circuits, etc.) are the
same in form.
• Objects to be measured are is extremely small in size.
• Large amount of objects are to be measured.
• Objects are to be measured using numerous points.
Using a measurement xture is not
recommended
(Use measurement leads.)
• Objects to be measured are dierent in form from each other.
• Objects to be measured are large in size.
• Objects to be measured are heavy in weight.
• Small amount of objects are to be measured.
For measurement examples using electrodes and a measurement xture, see “5 Measurement
Methods Suitable for Various Objects to Be Measured” (p. 77).
To connect a electrode to objects to be measured, refer to Instruction Manual that comes with each
of the electrodes.
