To Measure Capacitance
The following shows the system connections and selection of measurement functions.
The practice provides a guide to get familiar with the Capacitance measurement
technique.
Figure 1- 24 Capacitance Measurement Data Interface
Table1- 7 Capacitance Measurement Characteristics
2nF, 20nF, 200nF, 2uF, 20uF, 200uF
Basic measurement:
1. Connect test leads as shown in Figure 1- 25; red test lead to the HI Terminal,
black test lead to the LO Terminal.
2. Press to select the Capacitance measurement function.
3. Choose the appropriate measurement range.
4. Set the Null value.
Null computing will be an optional operation, could be setup in accordance with
userdemand. If user does not implement Null computing, this parameter is not
required, direct implementation of the next step.
(To know the specific setting methods of the Null value setting, please refer to
Chapter 2 “To Set Up Measurement Parameters”, Null computing)
5. Lead test leads into circuit, start to measure.
