Double Treat: The New Elektor LCR Meter Twice
The new Elektor high-precision LCR Meter AU2019 features 54 predefined test frequencies from 50 Hz up to 2 MHz. It also has a sorting function. Here are two videos that show how it works.
The new, high-precision LCR Meter AU2019 features 54 predefined test frequencies from 50 Hz up to 2 MHz. It also allows setting a “user” frequency anywhere in this range.
Furthermore, the instrument has four test signal levels (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1 VRMS) and allows adding a DC bias to it, up to 5 V for a capacitor or up to 50 mA for an inductor.
The first video shows how to use the LCR Meter to characterize the frequency behaviour of three passive components: an aluminium electrolytic capacitor, a power inductor, and a standard quarter-watt carbon resistor.
The second short video below illustrates the LCR Meter's sort function to quickly sort resistors, capacitors and inductors. Just set the target value and tolerance and away you go, the instrument tells you if the tested parts pass or fail.
The LCR Meter AU2019 also has a function to quickly sort resistors, capacitors and inductors. You just set the target value and tolerance and away you go. The instrument tells you if the parts to test pass or fail.
The project can be found at Elektor Labs where an Elektor Project Pledge support campaign is running and it will be described in detail the November 2020 edition of Elektor. Four introductory pages about this remarkable project will be published in the September 2020 edition of Elektor.
