Capacitance Calibration
For the capacitance function, you need to perform the zero point calibration and gain
calibration. The following introductions illustrate the calibration procedures by taking
the capacitance 2 nF scale as an example.
1. Read the "Calibration Devices" and "Test Conditions".
2. Press
to select the capacitance measurement function and set the range to
the manual 2 nF scale.
3. Press ; press T/C  PSW and input the correct calibration password; set
SecrOff and press Cal  Enter.
4. Connect on end of the connecting cable to the HI-LO input terminal of the
multimeter and leave the other end of the connecting cable unconnected;
connect the shielding layer of the cable to the chassis ground. Press Zero to
perform the zero point calibration; the zero point calibration parameters will be
displayed in the Cal 0 table after the zero point calibration finishes.
5. Connect the end of the test cable hang in the air with the output of the calibrator.
Set the output of the calibrator to 2 nF. Turn on the output of the calibrator and
wait until the output of the calibrator becomes stable. Then, press Gain to
perform the gain calibration; the gain calibration parameters will be displayed in
the Cal G table after the gain calibration finishes.
6. After the above calibrations finish, press Save to save the calibration parameters.
