Example: Select the conductance measurement function. (Depress the G Pushbutton.)
If a negative sign appears on the display when measuring an unknown, possible causes are:
“C” button has been pushed when measuring an inductor.
“L” button has been pushed when measuring a capacitor.
The unknown is more capacitive (or inductive) than suspected. For example, an
inductor that resonates below 1kHz will measure as though it were a capacitor.
A diode requires bias voltage (a negative reading may appear if bias voltage is not applied).
