Specifications
Measurement parameters:
Eight combinations of parameters are measured:
R and Q, C and D, L and Q, C and R, R and X, G
and B, Z(magnitude) and angle and Y (magnitude)
and angle as selected by the R/Q, C/D, L/Q, or C/R
keys, or the SHIFT key and the R/X, G/B, Z/ang/
or Y/ang keys. Either series or parallel equivalent
circuit values are measured for R, C, and L as
selected by the EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT key.
Series values are measured for R and X combination
and parallel values are measured for G and B.
Parameter selection is initially made automatically
based on the DDT being measuring. Automatic
selection is inhibited once a specific parameter
key has been selected by the operator (but may be
restored).
Display format:
Dual display featuring 5 full digit LED for
RLCGZY and full digit LED for DQRXBΘ
Automatically positioned decimal points and minus
signs where appropriate
Individual LED indicators for parameters, and
measurement units
MEASURE displays:
When the MEASURE function has been selected,
either VALUE, ∆RLC, ∆% or BIN NO. may be
displayed.
VALUE display:
The VALUE display provides five digits for
measured primary parameter (first quantity in each
pair given above) four digits for secondary quantity
