Measuring impedance (Z)
All circuit components, resistors, capacitors, and inductors have parasitic
components. These include, for example, unwanted resistance in capacitors,
unwanted capacitance in inductors, and unwanted inductance in resistors. Thus,
simple components should be modeled as complex impedances.
Set up your LCR meter to measure impedance as shown in Figure 2-9.
1 Press to power on the LCR meter.
2 Press to select a suitable test frequency, and press to select
impedance measurement.

3 Insert a component into the component socket or connect the test clip to the
component leads as required.
4 Press to change the secondary display measurement (D, Q, or θ).
5 Read the displays.
