Lp: Inductance mode in parallel

9) OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. AUTO Mode
The standard mode is the "AUTO" function, in other words, to turn on the instrument,
the "AUTO" mode will be activated. The standard frequency of measurement is of
1kHz. The instrument will go identify the impedance features automatically, selec-
ting the main parameter, assistant parameter L, C or R and the series or parallel
measure mode.
• Main Parameter:
L: Inductance.
C: Capacitance.
R: Resistance.
• Assistant Parameter:
D: Dissipation Factor.
Q: Quality Factor.
θ: Phase angle.
In the auto measure function, the series or parallel mode can be determined according
to the component impedance to be measure. In circuits with high impedance (bigger
than 10kΩ), select the parallel mode, and in circuits with low impedance (minor than
10kΩ), select the series mode.
