DER DE-5000 Issue selecting Dissipation, Q-Factor, ESR during cap measurement

[BFP]

Just recently purchased this meter from Amazon and while trying to measure electrolytic caps at 120Hz (i.e. 1000 uF & 2200 uF), I'm unable to select the Q-factor, ESR or Phase Angle.  Only the default dissipation factor is provided and the meter beeps twice at me when pressing the button which tells me it's a non-functional parameter when it should be (I think).

However, if I cycle to inductance, I'm then able to select these factors (Q, ESR, theta) or if I cycle through the LCR and back to C measurement, I can THEN select those parameters with no issue.

Just wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this bizarre behavior.  Thanks.

it defaults to auto mode, to do any kind of detailed measurements you need to select manual C mode to do it, its normal.

Cool, thanks.  I'll try that out.

There doesn't appear to be a method to exit "auto" mode for L & C measurements.  The strange thing is that the user manual states D,Q,ESL,theta should be accessible even in Auto mode.

Those parameters are NOT available UNLESS i cycle through them in Auto L mode only, once I do that I can cycle through them in Auto C.
