Model 3550 LCR Meter Instruction Manual Quick Start Instructions
Setting the Percent Comparator
8. Input the BIN No.
After selecting the threshold value input mode, use the cursor key, [Ź] to highlight the bin
LED, and then press [1]~[9] to select the desired bin.
9. Input the Threshold Value for DISPLAY A
After entering the bin number, use the cursor key [Ź] to highlight DISPLAY A.
Enter the 5-digit threshold value for DISPLAY A using keys [0]~[9]. (The setting range is
from 000.00%~199.99%)
10. Input the Threshold Value for DISPLAY B
Enter the 5-digit threshold value for DISPLAY B using keys [0]~[9]. (The setting range is
000.00%~199.99%)
11. Finalizing the Setting
To finalize an upper limit, press [HIGH] or press [LOW] to finalize a low limit setting.
NOTE: Whether a high or low limit %comparator setting is defined is determined in step 7.
To input settings for other bins, return to Step 1 and repeat the process.
12. Invalidating the DISPLAY A or DISPLAY B Percent Comparator settings
To invalidate the settings, for threshold values, simply enter the Threshold Percent
Comparator Set Mode and move the cursor to any segment in DISPLAY A or DISPLAY B. Then
press [IGNORE] to invalidate the % comparator settings for that DISPLAY.
NOTES:
The comparator can only be set using panels 1~9. 0 cannot be used.
This procedure is only for the percent comparator setting. Note that the procedure for the
absolute value comparator is different.
Make sure the comparator mode is set for “Percent Mode” otherwise the procedure will not
work correctly.
After setting the limit values for the comparator, the measurement parameters for DISPLAY
A and DISPLAY B cannot be changed. This means that the measurement parameters must
be defined before the comparator settings.
For DISPLAY B, there are no units for D,Q, or LJ.
