Q6 gw_product_detail_bar.png gw_product_detail_bar.png Regarding to LCR-800 series, how many testing frequency points for test?

The LCR-821 can provide 504 different frequencies with a 5 digit resolution including decimal places. Any frequency can be keyed from the number pad, and the closest available frequency (of 504) will be selected automatically. The LCR-818/829 has 503 different frequencies and the LCR-817/827 and LCR-816/826 have 489 and 245, respectively.The LCR-821 can provide 504 different frequencies with a 5 digit resolution including decimal places.

Q7 gw_product_detail_bar.png gw_product_detail_bar.png Regarding to LCR-800 series, how do I do to set the test mode from manual to automatic?

Hold the START key for a few seconds to toggle from automatic or manual testing on.

Q8 gw_product_detail_bar.png gw_product_detail_bar.png Regarding to LCR-800 series, what is the correct procedure for Open/Short Zeroing when using the LCR-06A test fixture?

The LCR-06A test fixture is very sensitive and thus must be used correctly.The LCR-06A test fixture is very sensitive and thus must be used correctly.

  • For Open Zeroing, make sure that the test fixture wires do not move and that there is nothing in close proximity to the test clips.
  • For Short Zeroing ensure the clips are properly shorted.

Q10 gw_product_detail_bar.png gw_product_detail_bar.png I cannot see the LCR-800 series display clearly.

Use a proper screw driver to adjust the display contrast knob on the rear panel of LCR-800 series.

Q11 gw_product_detail_bar.png gw_product_detail_bar.png I cannot see the LCR-8000G series display clearly.

Use the display contrast knob on the rear panel of LCR-8000G to adjust the brightness.

Q12 gw_product_detail_bar.png gw_product_detail_bar.png The LCR-8000G series Panel operation seems disabled.

Panel (local) operation is disabled in the Remote control mode. Press the Local key to bring back the instrument to local operation mode (remote control is cancelled).
