LCR meter

I have recently purchased an 895 LCR meter from BK PRECISION. I need to use this equipment to measure the capacitance of my dielectric film. However, I don’t know whether the way I conduct the test is in a proper way or wrong way. I would like to know how to measure the capacitance value of thin film using the equipment mentioned above. I can see the supplier provides two different types of test fixtures and a brass shorting bar. However, I am not sure which one to use.

I have run the test on a few of my dielectric film capacitance measurements. Yet, whenever I connect the instrument with the dielectric film, the measurement keeps fluctuating and not stagnant. Do you know if this is normal?

If you have not, you may want to review this Manual found on the Manufacturers page. It may specifically be beneficial to review pages 44 through 46.
