does this measure capacitance?

I have not been able to get mine to measure capacitance successfully (trying to troubleshoot capacitors on a Samsung FP-T5084 power supply board).

This is a great meter, I have purchased two and gave one to my father. The answer to your question is yes, on page 26 which is 4.2.7 you will see that the range runs from 4nF through 20uF and resolution of 1pF through 100 nF. Chris

Yes, note the capacitor symbol just below the diode. However, the meter is not quick and you must continue to make good contact with the probes for a number of seconds.

Yes, it will read capacitance up to 20 Microfarad (20uF). However you must disconnect/remove from circuit the capacitor you want to test (or at least one lead disconnected). If you try reading a capacitor while installed in a circuit you will get erroneous results.

I test capacitors on the MfR setting and it is very close to the factory capacitance, it will also pick up leakage voltage down to 1 volt. Best meter after 42 years that I have ever owned.

will not test caps in circuit, you need an esr meter for that. the newcason is good for out of circuit. decent meter for the price. pretty accurate.

This reads the value of the capacitor you're testing. It does not check for ESR. For detailed failure analysis, you'd probably want a more advanced tester.

It only measures total dissolved solids, as gauged by electrical conductivity. If that will help you with nutrient levels, great, but I suspect the answer is really no.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It measures radiation from the microwave.

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.

Did not work for me, however, wasnt sure if it was capacitors to begin with...

I did not receive any directions to it I just experimented with it. And it does measure caps well for me.

i dont know.just hook an ammeter in series with it and a battery and you'll find out

Yes, it measures AC voltage. I am not sure what the second part of your question means. AC and DC are totally different beasts. If you have AC you can't probe for DC, and if you have DC you can't probe for AC-- this is true regardless of your meter, unless there are meters that can automatically detect that your current is one or the other. In the US, your device will receive AC and will either supply AC or DC or both to different parts of your circuit. Part of most consumer electronics is a power supply that converts AC from your wall outlet to DC. To convert DC to AC you could use an alternator. I hope some of this information is what you are after! Yes, it measures AC voltage. I am not sure what the second part of your question means. AC and DC are totally different beasts.

It's just a capacitor farad measurement tool. I don't think your results will be very accurate in-circuit.

Hello, This is a great analog meter which is perfect for testing all different types of diodes but not a great tool for testing capacitors. I would highly recommend a ESR meter for testing Capacitors. Hope this helps.

yes, you can test capacitors. I have tested 24v AC and I have also used the meter to test for DC voltage. I like the meter so far. It also reads temperatures.

It comes with a device to show that it is working, but does not give a specific measurement.

No. I found my unit to be unusable...I couldn't tell what it was actually measuring. This computer made it go nuts, but when I set it on the keyboard, then slowly took my hand away from it, the 1200+ reading dropped to zero, implying that it was measuring some combination of skin conductance plus ??? Do not buy this thing.

No, the probes are used to measure voltage. You must use the "clamp" feature to surround the wire you want to measure the current flowing through.
