4.2.2 System settings interface Figure 3 system settings interface On the system settings interface users can view the product model, serial number and version number. The language, automatic power-off, brightness, power-on, and buzzer can be set. 4.3 Test port ET1080 Series uses the 3- and 5-terminal test ports at the same time, which is to combine convenience and high accuracy for the test.
instrument. 5.2 Selection of parameter 5.2.1 Selection of frequency ET1080 Series handheld LCR applies AC test signal to the DUT for measurement. Frequency is one of the main parameters of the AC source. Due to the presence of the non-ideal and distributed parameters of elements, and the impact of the distributed parameters between the test end, the same element may have different results with different test frequencies.
5.2.3 Selection of internal bias ET1080Series offers internal bias 0-500mV, the DC bias voltage with stepping of 1mV (ET1080B/ET1080A has no such function). When the test function is DCR, the bias is 800mV. There are two ways to change the bias voltage:...
5.2.5 Selection of measurement speed Turn on the instrument and the measurement display is shown, press SPEED to switch to the next measurement speed (fast, medium, slow). Above the status bar the corresponding measurement speed is displayed. Fast (4 times / s), the speed (2 times / s), Slow (1 time / s).
Press AUTO/SER/PAL to switch to the next equivalent (SER, PAL). 5.3. DCR mode ET1080 Series has the DCR mode except for ET1080B/ET1080A. Long press FREQ to enter the DCR mode, as shown in figure 9. SLOW...
press -|(- to enter the electrolytic capacitance mode, as shown in figure 10. Figure 10 5.5. Relative mode Short press ▲NULL to turn on the relative function and the current value is used as reference. The reference value and relative value will be shown respectively on the secondary and main display.
5.8 Comparator function See 5.2.8 Selection of tolerance and 5.2.9 Selection of nominal value. 5.9 Correction function The correction function applies to the open and short circuit. By correcting it can effectively reduce the error of distributed parameters caused by the test line. The short circuit correction can reduce the impact of the contact resistance and lead resistance on the measurement of low impedance element;...
Do not measure the charged capacitor, or it may cause damage to the instrument. In case of measurement of on-board devices, make sure the power is turned off. The active circuit cannot be measured directly. When used in the dusty environment, the instrument is easy to gather dirt, so it should be cleaned periodically to protect the test port to prevent the dust from entering the instrument.
