I learned that there was a new firmware for 34460a, 34461a, 34465a and 34470a released may 14th,
i promptly downloaded it and briefly read the release notes, now we can measure CAPACITORS!!!
there is a lot of small fixes and some new functions, the multimeter now boot in 30 seconds instead of 50, great!

 :clap: to Keysight and a big :-+


..but please tell me how to activate that particular function because i cant find it..  :o
here is a link to the release notes: http://www.keysight.com/upload/cmc_upload/All/Firmware_2.08_Release_Notes.pdf

I dont have a one - but I think the new firmware update invokes the same shift keys as the " bigger models " so download a manual for the 65/70 model and check where the shift key is to invoke the new features. (So pressing "shift-something" should invoke capacitance measurement as far as I remember)

thanks kaz911, i found it, i must have missed it before somehow, it is shift+freq.

max selectable range is 100µF, i tried a Elna gold 470µF and it worked fine, but 1000µF did not.
