Looking for Gw Instek Lcr 916? GW Instek LCR 916 Handheld LCR Meter is available at Zbotic with fast shipping across India.
The GW Instek LCR-900 Series (LCR-916/LCR-915/LCR-914) is a smart, convenient, and fully-functional dual display handheld LCR meter. The test frequency extends as high as 100 kHz/10kHz, providing greater flexibility to test a wider range of components.The LCR-916 / LCR-915 / LCR-914 uses a dual 20,000 /2,000 count display. The 20,000 count display is used for displaying the primary parameters such as capacitance, inductance, and resistance as well as DC resistance measurement, and a 2,000 count display is for secondary parameters such as Q, D, ESR, and RP measurement. Secondary measurements can also be combined with the primary measurement while the primary measurement is still being taken.
The LCR-916/915/914 provides two measurement methods, 2 wire, and 5 wire measurements. The LCR-916/915/914 also comes with a host of various standard or optional accessories to assist the testing a number of different component types. The meters also include handy functions such as data hold, tolerance sorting, zero modes, and Min/Max (for LCR-916 only).
The meter’s USB interface can be used to log data to a PC using the LCR900 software and provide the DC 5V needed to power the meter. With the LCR-916/LCR-915/LCR-914, you can perform quick and basic LCR measurements with precision at an affordable price.
