ACCURACY
3-8
Accuracy when Holding a non-optimal Range
When a component is measured outside of its nominal range (in range hold), the accuracy of the
measurement is reduced. The nominal ranges are defined as approximately four times above and below the
nominal impedance value. 100kHz values apply to the SR720 only.
Range Nominal Impedance Range
R3 6.25 Ω - 100 Ω
R2 100 Ω - 1.6 kΩ
R1 1.6 kΩ - 25.6 kΩ
R0 100Hz - 10kHz 25.6 kΩ - 400 kΩ (R0 is not defined for 100 kHz)
Components that are measured while autoranging have only one set of extreme range terms (Kh, Kl) per
frequency. For components measured in range hold the values of K
h
and K
l
are different for each range.
These values are listed below for R, L, C and Z.
