On the esi bridge, in order to get accurate inductance readings the Q dial must be turned down in conjunction with the sensitivity and L-R-C dials. Depending on whether a series or parallel test is being made, is which reading is made from the dial. Dissipation and q can both be read on capacitance, q on inductors. D and Q on this meter can be extended for up to 10khz and Q readings as high as 10,000 readings of capacitors with the use of the external rheostat unit (which i would like to find). Large core inductors can also be read using external dc across the ext. bias terminals. I like this meter very much, but it took getting the manual to get the most out of it.
