Re: measurement of capacitance

How does a multimeter measure capacitance?

just a quick semi-educated guess -

the meter provides a small CONSTANT current and measures the TIME required
for the voltage to rise by a given amount. (Constant current sources are
easy to come up with for these limited voltage ranges)
