Multi-meter
Capacitance
The Capacitance tab allows you to
measure the capacitance of the loop
and capacitance length.
Note: If the ANSI standard is used, the tab
name Capacitance changes to
Opens Meter.
³
Cable Fill allows you to select the
type of material the cable can be
filled with.
³
Connection defines the type of
connection to be tested.
³
Cap balance threshold (nF) is the capacitance balance threshold
ranging from 0.1 to 20 nF. If the measured capacitive balance in nF is
greater than this threshold, FAIL is displayed. Otherwise, PASS is
displayed.
³
Cap balance threshold (%) is the capacitance balance threshold
ranging from 50 to 100 %. If the measured capacitance balance in
percentage is greater than this threshold, PASS is displayed. Otherwise,
FAIL is displayed.
³
Low cap value (nF) defines which of the above thresholds will be
used to determine pass or fail. The range is 0.1 to 500 nF. If the loop
capacitance is less than the Low cap value, the threshold in
Cap balance threshold (nF) will be used. Otherwise, the threshold in
Cap balance threshold (%) is used.
