Capacitance performance verification test
Configuration: Capacitance (CONFigure:CAPacitance)
1 Connect the calibrator to the front panel HI and LO input terminals
as shown in the figure below:
2 Select the Capacitance function.
3 Select each range in the order shown below. Provide the indicated
input voltage and frequency. Compare measurement results to the
appropriate test limits shown in the table. (Be certain to allow for
appropriate source settling.)

[1] For the best accuracy, take a zero null measurement with open test leads, to null out the test lead
capacitance, before connecting the test leads to the calibrator.
