it into the Output Display (below is typical).
COMP (Compensation). Applies 2-wire compensation or turns compensation off.
Compensation refers to methods of connection the Calibrator to the UUT to cancel
out test lead resistance (NOT capacitance). Compensation is available for
capacitances of 110 nF and above. This softkey does not function in less than 110 nF.
