Making Measurements
This chapter describes how to select a measurement type, set parameters, perform measurements and get the
results of the component under test.
WARNING
To avoid electrical hazards and possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, always
discharge the capacitor to be tested before measuring. For in circuit measurement, always disconnect
circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing.
NOTE
When doing in circuit testing, the test result may be affected by other components that connect to the
component under test. The component under test may need to be isolated from other components in order to
get accurate result.
LCR Measurement
LCR measurement includes auto mode (Auto), resistance measurement (R), inductance measurement (L), and
capacitance measurement (C).
Figure 3-1 shows a typical display in LCR measurement. It shows test frequency and test voltage on the top. The
primary display is in the middle showing component type and measurement result. The secondary parameter
reading is shown underneath the primary display. The circuit mode, sound icon and battery indicator are
displayed on the bottom.

Shortcuts are provided to quickly select the settings. Below are the available shortcuts in LCR measurement:
• Single click the navigation button to switch component type as Figure 3-2 shows.
• Double click the navigation button to switch test voltage as Figure 3-3 shows.
