Analysing Components
The
Atlas DCA
is designed to analyse discrete,
unconnected, unpowered components. This
ensures that external connections don’t influence
the measured parameters. The three test probes can be
connected to the component any way round. If the component has
only two terminals, then any pair of the three test probes can be used.

The
Atlas DCA
will start component
analysis when the
on-test
button is
pressed.
Depending on the component type, analysis may take a few seconds to
complete, after which, the results of the analysis are displayed. Information is
displayed a “page” at a time, each page can be displayed by briefly pressing the
scroll-off
button.
The arrow symbol on the display indicates that more pages are available
to be viewed.
Although the
Atlas DCA
will switch itself off if left unattended, you
can manually switch the unit off by holding down the
scroll-off
button for a couple of seconds.
