Measuring Impedance (Z)
The impedance measurement is used to measure the combination of Resistance (R) and Reactance (X) and is
measured in ohms (Ω). All circuit components, resistors, capacitors, and inductors have parasitic components,
such as unwanted inductance in resistors, unwanted resistance in capacitors, unwanted capacitance in inductors,
etc. Thus, simple components should be modeled as complex impedances. In Z mode, the meter shows phase
angle (θ) as the secondary parameter.
Table 3-6 describes how to set up the meter to measure impedance.

If resistance mode (Rs-Rp) is selected, the meter shows Rs when circuit mode is selected as series and shows Rp
when circuit mode is selected as parallel. If dissipation or quality factor mode (D-Q) is selected, the meter shows
D when measuring capacitance and shows Q when measuring inductance.
