• Connect the measurement prods with the object being tested. Thereby,
connect the red measuring lead with the anode (+) and the black mea-
suring lead with the cathode (-).

The polarity of the test voltage on the socket
Typical values:
Schottky- or Germanium diodes: approx. 0,2...0,4 V
Silicon: approx. 0,6...0,8 V.
Cathode/Anode
In general, the cathode is the minus pole, that is, the electrode that takes up
the electrons over the electrical connection and passes them on in the direction
of the anode (+).
