Table 5.8 Capacitance Measurement Parameter Settings
Parameter Description
Range*
Auto, 1 nF, 10 nF, 100 nF, 1 μF, 10 μF, 100 μF, 1 mF, and 10 mF
(only available for DM858)
NOTE
20% overrange on all ranges.
4. Click or tap to enable or disable the relative operation function. When
enabled, the displayed reading value is the result obtained by subtracting the set
relative value from the actual measurement value. For the relative value setting
methods, refer to descriptions in "
Math Operation
".
5. Read the measured value
The capacitance measurement is measured at a fixed "slow" rate with a 3.5-digit
display. Therefore, the reading rate cannot be adjusted during measurement
results reading.
6.
Hold the reading data
Press
to run and hold the reading data displayed on the screen.
TIP
Before measuring the electrolytic capacitor, you should first short-circuit the two pins of the
electrolytic capacitor to discharge it.
5.3.7 To Test Continuity
The continuity test checks that the resistance in the DUT is low enough to be
considered continuous. In this case, the beeper sounds, if enabled, to inform you of
the continuity situation.
Operation Procedures:
1. To enter the continuity measurement interface, perform either one of the following
two operations.
- Press on the front panel;
