charges the capacitor and the needle slowly moves back
to the open (infinite ohms) position. The higher resistance
ranges offer increased sensitivity for checking smaller
capacitors.
The analog bar graph can make similar checks in the
resistance function, even in the autoranging mode. As a
capacitor is placed across the inputs, the analog bar
graph quickly shortens, then rapidly down-ranges,
depending on the size of the capacitor. As the capacitor
charges, the bar graph slowly extends back to its full 31-
segment length, up-ranging if necessary. For capacitors
as small as 0.1 F, only the 32-megohm range is involved.
In a fixed range (using manual range mode), the time it
takes for the bar graph to extend from zero to full scale
indicates the approximate capacitance value. Table 3
gives typical capacitance values for various charge times
on different resistance ranges. For very small capacitors,
use the conductance (nS) mode.
