I would like to drive a 12V DC hydraulic valve coil using a high side driver (VN7140AJ). The driver [datasheet][1] specifies the maximum demagnetization energy (page 24), and I would like to make sure that I can drive the coil without damaging the driver.

The datasheet for the valve does not specify its inductance and the manufacturer doesn't seem to know what I am talking about, so I decided to measure the coil inductance myself. I have a DE-5000 LCR meter, but depending on the frequency I select, the measured inductance changes.

What settings should I choose on the LCR meter, to obtain a value that can be checked against the demagnetization graph in the driver datasheet?
