Correcting zero DC indication
After making sure that the jaws are closed and there is no conductor between them, connect them to
PQM analyzer and run "Sonel Analysis" software in the current preview mode (pay attention to cor-
rectly configure the measurement point for the measurement with clamps C-5). Press the knob and
turn it around until zero is reached in constant current component.
