To Measure Capacitance

In view of DC voltage measurement function, the following part demonstrated how
to link the measurement connection and how to choose measurement functions. The
following practice will gradually guide you to be familiar with the DC Voltage
measurement technique.

Import Protection 1000V on all ranges (HI Terminal)
Configurable
Parameters
Basic measurement:
1. Connect test leads as Figure 1-26 shown. Red test lead connects the HI Terminal,
Black test lead connects the LO Terminal.
2. Press to select the Capacitance measurement function.
3. According to the capacitance measuring scope, choose the correct range.
4. Set the Null value
Null computing will be an optional operation, could be setup in accordance with
user demand. If user does not implement Null computing, this parameter is not
required, direct implementation of the next step.
(To know the specific setting methods of the Null value setting, please refer to
Chapter 2 "To Set Up Measurement Parameters", Null computing)
5. Lead test leads into circuit, starts to measurement.
