Thanks, I just found it myself as well. I'm getting strange readings though. I'll keep trying.

For some reason I'm not getting the correct readings. I just tested a .5 mH with WT3 and got an Le of 15.35 mH. Strange!

My headphones were plugged in. Unplugged works fine. Whew!

I don't know how much of a difference this will make so use your own discretion.

The wt3 setup has option for le at 1khz vs le at 10khz.

Hey Brian, where do you find that?

Hey Brian, where do you find that?

I am away from my speaker room but I believe it is edit-preferences.

Hmm, Idon't see it.

Honestly I am again at a place where I don't have access to the software. I would go through every menu option (There aren't very many.) and hunt it down. The control is a simple radio button selector that lets you use either 1khz or 10khz. I assume that we have the same version of the wt3 software (latest version).

Yes I have the latest but can't see anything like that.
