Step 1: Configure the test leads, as shown below. Step 2: Press the one on the front panel . ⚫ Disconnect the probe end of the positive and negative test leads from the test circuit and leave it open. Step 3: To remove the test lead capacitance, do the following operations: ⚫ Press Null . The DMM subtracts this null value from the capacitance measurement. Step 4: Press Range to choose a range for measurement. You can also use the [+], [-] keys on the front panel to select the range. Automatically select range for measurement based on input. Compared with manually selected range, auto range adjustment is more convenient, but can lead to slower measurement.
Automatic adjustment range can be adjusted down to less than 10% of the range, can also be adjusted up to more than 120% of the range. When the auto range adjustment range is off, the instrument will not report "overload" if the reading exceeds 120% of the range (capacitance measurements only). Overload occurs only when the algorithm timeouts because the applied capacitance is too large to make measurements. In capacitance measurement mode, if you apply a DC voltage or short connection to the input terminal, the instrument will report an "overload". Continuity This section describes how to configure continuity tests from the front panel. Step 1: Configure the test leads, as shown below. 38
