Legend
Key response when pressed for:
Less than 1 second More than 1 second
Turns the LCR meter on or off -
Starts or stops the auto identi-
fication mode
Enables or disables the ESR 
(equivalent series resistance) 
mode
[1]
Holds or releases the present 
reading on the display
Starts or stops the static 
recording mode
Switches between dissipation 
factor (D), quality factor (Q), 
and phase angle (θ) measure-
ment
Enables or disables the limit 
comparison mode
Selects a test frequency
Enables or disables the DCR 
(direct current resistance) 
mode
[2]
Disables autoranging and sets 
a manual range
Enables autoranging
Switches between impedance 
(Z), inductance (L), capacitance 
(C), and resistance (R) mea-
surement
Toggles between parallel and 
series circuit mode
Enables the tolerance mode
Turns the backlight display on 
or off
[3]
 or disables the toler-
ance mode (if tolerance is 
enabled)
Sets the null/relative mode
Enters the open/short calibra-
tion mode for selected range 
and test frequency
[1]
Autoranging only. ESR mode exits to capacitance (C) measurement by default.
[2]
Applicable for U1733C model only. DCR mode exits to inductance (L) measure-
ment by default.
[3]
Applicable for U1732C and U1733C models only.
