Other Frequency Measurements

Resonant circuit measurement

A basic measurement with your DM-81 is a frequency check of resonant (tuned)
circuits comprised of coils and capacitors. In practice, the dip meter is brought
near the coil to be measured as shown in Figure 1A. This illustrates a standard
method of resonant frequency measurement.

Use of the capacitive probe

If a coil to be measured is located in a narrow place and cannot be coupled to the
dip meter coil, or if a coil is enclosed in a shield, the probe can be used for
accurate measurement. See Figure 4.
