Test & Measurement: Economically Priced LCR Meter Boasts RS-232 Interface

Priced at just $1295, the model 1715 DigiBridge inductance-capacitance-resistance (LCR) meter for benchtop and automated impedance measurements features an RS-232 interface and basic measurement accuracy within 0.2%. There's also an optional IEEE-488/handler interface. The meter has test frequencies of 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, and 10 kHz. It can measure, display, and output two parameters simultaneously, including capacitance, ac resistance, and inductance, in series or in parallel. It also handles dissipation factor, quality factor, impedance, phase angle, and reactance measurements. The price includes a calibration certificate traceable to the National Institute for Standards and Test.
