Simpson analog meters would use the RX1 or RX10 or RX100 to measure capacitors and what the analog needle to see any fluctuations when the capacitor is getting charged. Many capacitors will pass test on capacitor meters but will fail the Simpson Analog meters fluctuation test. Using low impedance capacitor testers that puts a LOAD on the capacitor will fail leaky capacitors. On the oscilloscope you measure the capacitor but using a Function generators Square waveform and measure the ramp time divided by voltage = capacitances

Simpson analog meters were the first test instruments I used. They are very well built and accurate if properly cared for. I did not have much call to test capacitors with them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@@takingmeasure Yes its in the Simpson Analog Meters testing manuals or other service manuals that would use simpson analog meters to test capacitors and diodes resistance test. Diodes can test good using a DVM meter 0.7vdc but the test current test voltage is very low. Simpson RX1, RX10, RX100 scale has different test current test voltage for diodes resistance. The diode will pass the forward voltage test but will FAIL the diode resistance test.

sir you did not mention the stated capacitance of the small capacitors, ergo could not match with the measuring instrument values. Furthermore you did not measure the small capacitors with the yellow multimeter. please make a detailed video. 👍👷🙏

Thank you for watching. Perhaps we will visit this again.
