U1731C/U1732C/U1733C User's Guide
Set up your LCR meter to measure inductance as shown in
Figure 2- 3.
It is recommended that you perform the Open/Short calibration (see
page 46) before testing to achieve optimum precision for all inductance,
capacitance, and resistance measurements at either the highest or lowest
ranges.
