When testing analog circuits or

devices with a Huntron Tracker, you
should use the low range of the
tester for which of the following
reasons?
Defects will show easier, and
the internal impedance makes it
more likely the device under
test will load the tester
Defects are easier to find in
the medium range
The internal impedance will
cause the device under test to
load the tester
Defects will show easier , and
the internal 54 ohm impedance
makes it less likely that parts
in parallel with the device
under test will load the tester

Final answer:

The low range on a Huntron Tracker should be used because it has a higher internal impedance, resulting in easier detection of defects and preventing other components in parallel from loading the tester.

Step-by-step explanation:

When testing analog circuits or devices with a Huntron Tracker, you should use the low range of the tester primarily because defects are more likely to show up clearly. The low range setting ensures a minimal loading effect of the circuitry under test due to a higher internal impedance of the tester itself. This higher internal impedance (often around 54 ohms in many such devices) makes it less likely that other components in parallel with the device under test will affect the readings by placing additional load on the tester. Consequently, the tester selectively loads the component of interest, making it easier to detect the specific defects in that component.
