5.8 Percentage Error
This function allows you to compare the value the meter is
displaying with a known or “theoretical” value. Take a measurement
so that the screen is displaying a reading on the main display. Now
press the REL [13], “Percentage Error” key. Enter the known or
standard value onto the secondary display using the keypad. Now
press the Enter [17] key. If the units must be changed, press UNIT
[14] key to change the unit. Press the Enter [17] key again if
needed. The secondary display will now give the difference between
the standard value and the measuring value in “%”. The equation is
as follows:
% error = | experimental value – theoretical value | / theoretical value x 100%
Note: If the percentage error is higher than 9999%, the LCD will
display only [----].
5.9 Sorting Function Mode
The SORT function allows you to rapidly compare a reading to
an established tolerance for a PASS or FAIL test. For instance, if
your capacitors should be within 1% of 100
µ
F, then you can
connect a capacitor and the LCR-600 will read out PASS or FAIL.
Press the SORT key to enter the sorting function mode. Key in
the maximum percentage error (1%) and press Enter [17] key. Key
in the standard value (100
µ
F) and press Enter [17]. Connect a
component (capacitor) to test. Wait until the primary display shows a
value for the component being tested. Press the Test [12] key. The
