Blue Ana Tek ESR Meter

4tified · 03-06-2009, 05:42 AM

Just a quick question... I recently purchased an ESR meter from Ana Tek and assembled it from scratch (my how fun that was). Anyway, I calibrated using a 5k resistor like the manual says, but every cap I measure (whether in series or out), show the same 0 readings. I tested on some known-bad Nichicon caps and got the same reading as with a brand new Rubycon. Anyone own one of these meters and can give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Am I missing something obvious?
