| The meter is auto-ranging from a few pF to about 100µF. I've made the output routine a little more complicated than really needed by displaying values in micro Farads from 0.1µF to 100µF, nano Farads from 1nF to 100nF, and pico Farads from 1pF to 1000pF. | The meter is auto-ranging from a few pF to about 100µF.
