4.3.5. Capacitance measurement

Before carrying out capacitance measurements on circuits or capacitors, cut
off power supply from the circuit being tested and let all capacitance in it be
discharged. When connecting the multimeter and the capacitance to be
measured, respect the correct polarity (when required).
