Can I test capacitance of 1 to 10 nF accuracy?

I cannot verify accuracy but the capacitance ranges include nF scale with a minimal value increment of 10pF.

It does not measure capacitance. All you can do with this meter is determine if the capacitor is open or shorted. Leakage and value cannot be determined. Buy a good digital meter that reads capacitance.

The instructions with my tester were very basic, but accurate. Written instructions included with any cheap capacitor tester, or multimeter are minimal at best. If you don't know how to use a cap tester it's best not to use one, until you take a class or two, large caps can kill you if you don't know what you're doing.

Verify your flux capacitor is not inverted. If it is be sure to keep your volume below 88.

Sorry, but J. Koebel is correct. This unit will measure into the 1000K ohm range, but is unfortunately not able to measure less than one tenth ohm. I just tested. And it is accurate to only .1ohm. Therefore as for your desired reading of 0.543ohm this VOM will give you a reading of .5ohm. Here is the Manual: http://www.p-mastech.com/images/SPEC/ms8265%20ms8268.pdf

No. You can not test capacitors on a circuit board. It will give you a false reading, other caps on the board will influence the reading. You have to discharge a capacitor before handling it and taking readings from it.

No, it does not measure F directly. There are methods on the internet which explain how to build a simple circuit into which you can insert the capacitor and then measure the voltage and current to calculate the capacitance. This meter can measure those parameters.

Yes. Keep in mind that it's not an advanced tester. It only tests the pins in sequence to see if each wire is connecting. If a light doesn't show, you have a bad cable. It doesn't test things like capacitance, attenuation, crosstalk, and the like.

Operating instructions you can get online from UEi shows ranges and resolutions. For capacitance it says Range 0nF, 400nF, 4uF, 40uF, 400uF, 4000uF

The big 100 uF capacitor (round black cylinder in picture). You can solder one or more capacitors in parallel on the back side. Observe polarity! Every extra 100 uF should give you extra 10 seconds. You may need to increase delay before activation with large values for consistent results, that the caps fully discharge. Likewise, smaller caps can be substituted for finer resolution with shorter delays.

Yes, for all practical purposes. Incredible, inexpensive device accurately measures R, L and C with high precision. Caps test provides capacitance and ESR (equivalent series resistance) simultaneously, in seconds. There may some electrolytics in high voltage applications that would require leakage tests under the working voltage but these aren't seen too often. In a test, a 220 uf electroyic 63 wv, with a 500 ohm shunt resistor added, still gave an accurate read of capacitance and ESR. This replaces an ohmmeter, cap meter and ESR meter. I am buying another one. Hope this info is helpful. Yes, for all practical purposes. Incredible, inexpensive device accurately measures R, L and C with high precision.

It can under the following conditions: The circuit is NOT powered-on. The cap to be measured is discharged manually by shorting it for 1-2 seconds before being measured/tested.

You would need a multimeter to test it. You can also try it with a different board if you have one. It can also be the power brick, you need a good quality brick. I received doa pico150 and returned it for a 160 that works.

I used a short term test like the one from First Alert to validate the readings in my basement and it came out accurate. Make sure that you carefully place the unit because placement can effect the readings. 25 is pretty high but certainly in the range of possible - don't ignore it !

Unfortunately, I didn't keep it long enough to look. I had a loose capacitor in the unit, and put it back in the box and returned it.

The tester will measure your electrolytic cap's capacitance and esr but not leakage. It will test bipolar transistors and identify E B C leads and PNP or NPN, and measure beta gain and E-C forward (on) voltage drop.

Possibly. If you see what capacitors are bad then you can check what's included to see if it has the capacitors you need.
