A = Basic Capacitance Accuracy
Factor from graph.
For D > 0.1, multiply the basic
accuracy factor by (1 + D).
If the unit is in the constant voltage
(CV) mode or under internal or
external bias, double the basic
accuracy factor.
K

Table below)
K
v
= Voltage Error Factor (see K

, K

Accuracy of D = ± [Ac / 100]
A
c
= the accuracy of the capacitance
measurement (above)
Note that the accuracy of D is specified as a
magnitude, NOT as a percent.
