Optional capacitance gain verification test
1 Connect the calibrator to the front panel (red) and LO (black) input
terminals (see Figure 5- 2 on page 146).
2 Press to select the capacitance function.
3 Select each range in the order shown below. Provide the indicated input
capacitance. Compare the measurement results to the appropriate test
limits shown in Table 5- 15. (Be certain to allow for appropriate source
settling when using the Fluke 5520A.)
