Thanks, at 24:21 of this Hameg HM8118 LCR meter video, the Device wrongly selects parallel mode and gives totally the wrong inductance measurement
Surely most capacitor and inductor readings would be in series mode.....so why did it default to parallel mode.?
Also, at 11:50 of the video, he measures the test voltage which is set to 1V....i would think this would be a good thing for us to do as a cheap way to see if the LCR meter is calibrated?....we will also measure the frequency of this test voltage and check it corresponds to what was set.

Hi, At 8:51 of this video, they show measuring the primary inductance of a transformer with the LCX-Z5 test fixture....
...However they do not show how to do a suitable open/short calibration method prior to this. Is it OK to connect the H leads together and L leads together to do the open calibration?...and then all of them shorted together to do the short circuit calibration?......i ask, because the open/short calibration prior to transformer measurements, shown at 02:40 of the video, does not do it like this.
Also, if you have the LCX-Z5 , but are using it with the Hameg HM8118, then can you simply use the LCX-Z5 to measure inductances, by pressing the "L-R" button? (ie not the "M" or "N" buttons)

Also, regarding the Hameg HZ186 transformer test fixture, the open/short calibration is described on page 62 of the following.....

.....shows the open/short calibration being very different for the LCX-Z5, which is equivalent to the HZ186. Do you know the reason for the difference?
