I hope I am, at least, halfway. on the right category to post my inquiry. It is "personal" homework but not formal homework.
Okay, down to business of the question. I now own a Simpson 2785 Impedance Bridge Meter. I know...I know....I could just easily get a modern meter to get my data from; however, I wanted to learn how to use this older piece of equipment, anyway. I bought it; therefore, why not learn how to use it? Or, so goes my thinking. Anyway, is anybody knowledgeable on how to use this Simpson 2785 Meter?
Now, I should say, I do have a manual for this meter. Albeit, I am apparently not correctly reading its instructions. You see, I have taken a known valued component (for this example, an inductor, to name just one). Okay, it is 200uH in value. Now, I did test this component on the more up-to-date meters and (using three different ones) obtained values ranging from 200uH to about 206uH. Of course, I do not expect to get that degree of accuracy from the Simpson Meter since it is analogue in nature. Next, then, I attempted to try to obtain a relatively close reading from the Simpson 2785 Impedance Bridge Meter. But, I am obviously not fully understanding the directions as presented by the manual. Obviously, I am misreading them and misinterpreting them as I get nothing that is even close (100uH or less).
Hmmmm, so, is there anybody out there skilled in this meter than can provide a clear, simple, foolproof step-by-step set of directions on how to use this meter for Resistances, Inductors, and Capacitors? Again, yes, I have the manual but am clearly not getting it out straight what the manual is trying to tell me. It is obvious that I am misreading and misunderstanding the directions the manual provides. Therefore, maybe an expert in electronics or an electronics professor can clear things up for me.
Thanks to all in advance!
