879B CAL

The 879B CAL from B&K Precision is a dual display handheld LCR meter. This measures L, C, R, Z, D, Q, θ, ESR quickly and precisely. Fast auto ranging and quick measurement configuration such as measurement parameter and test frequency selection makes meter very simple to operate. The meter also includes handy functions such as data hold, min/max/average recording, tolerance sorting and relative mode. Measurement data can continuously transfer to a PC via the meter’s mini USB interface, using either the provided data logging software or SCPI commands sent from a custom program. It is typically used in passive component troubleshooting, electronic assembly and quality control (component sorting).

879B LCR meter, Banana-to-alligator test leads, 9V battery, 120V AC adapter, Mini USB interface cable, Manual.

Warnings

Do not connect an external power adapter when a battery is installed incorrectly (reverse polarity or non-matching polarity to indicator of battery compartment). Doing so will damage the instrument.

Notes

When measuring in-circuit components, first de-energize the circuits before connecting to the test leads.
