8b. Set vertical
scale (Absolute +
Manual fit) Press F2 (Abs/%) to select Abs, then press
F3 (Manual/Auto fit) to select Manual fit.
Move the cursor to Hi, set the Hi value.
Repeat this for Lo as well. The minimum
and maximum vertical range is manually
configured. Page94
8c. Set vertical
scale (Percentage
+ Auto fit) Press F2 (Abs/%) to select %, then press
F3 (Manual/Auto fit) to select Auto fit.
Move the cursor to Nominal and set the
nominal value. The LCR-8000G
automatically configures the vertical
range around the nominal value. Page99
8d. Set vertical
scale (Percentage
+ Manual fit) Press F2 (Abs/%) to select %, then press
F3 (Manual/Auto fit) to select Manual fit.
Move the cursor to Hi, set the Hi
percentage. Repeat this for Lo and
Nominal. The minimum and maximum
vertical range is manually configured. Page96
9. Plot graph Press F4 (Start). The graph is drawn on
the display. To abort, press F6 (Abort). Page103
10. Fit graph into
display When plotting is finished, press F1
(Function), then F2 (Fit). The vertical scale
is automatically adjusted to include all
the plotted line. Press F1 (View) to go
back. Page105
11. Move marker Press the Left/Right keys to move the
marker on the graph. To move the marker
to the peak, press F1 (Function) and F3
(Peak). To move to the dip, press F4 (Dip).
Press F1 (View) to go back.

Measurement tip
Hi/Low
impedance If the measured impedance is greater than 1kΩ,
the standard four-terminal connection is not
necessary. Run S/C trim to remove the effect of
series lead impedance.
If the measured impedance is lower than 1kΩ,
four-terminal connection can reduce the effect of
contact resistance at the test component.
Metal component
case connection A large area of metal can add noise to the
measurement. Here is how to minimize the effect.
If the metal is connected to one of the terminals,
this should be connected to the Hforce (Yellow)
terminal side.
If the metal is NOT connected to either of the
terminals, connect the GND clip.
Small-sized
capacitor When measuring small, SMD-size capacitors, run
O/C trim at the measurement frequency (Spot
trimming) to eliminate the residual capacitance.
Make sure the measurement lead positions are
fixed during trimming.
Small-sized
inductor When measuring small, SMD-size inductors, run
S/C trim at the measurement frequency (Spot
trimming). The LCR-8000G measures the
difference between the inductance of S/C
trimming and the inductance of test component.
Four-terminal fixture set is recommended and
make sure the measurement leads are fixed during
trimming.
