The binning pa- rameters can be defined from the keyboard of from a PC via the problem. the RS-232 interface. There are plenty of low cost hand-held LCR meters available, Up to eight pass bins and two fail bins can be defined.

High quality test fixture The LCR400 bridges the gap. It provides the performance and The LCR400 has a built-in four terminal sprung-jaw test fixture facilities required for precision component measurement at a with pillar adaptors making it suitable for use with both axial and price not far above that of a hand-held unit. radial components. The LCR400 is a low-cost precision LCR bridge intended for Optional adaptors are also available to allow connection to ex- use within component inspection, laboratories and produc- ternal test fixtures. tion facilities. The basic measurement accuracy is 0.1% and the maximum measurement frequency is 10kHz. Surface mount tweezers Designed for serious use High quality four terminal SMD tweezers are available as an op- tion for measuring surface mount components. The LCR400 is housed in a rugged casing of sufficient weight to stay where it is put. The tweezers connect directly into the built-in test fixture of the LCR400. Four terminal connection is made at the base of the It incorporates a high quality four terminal test fixture with adap- gold plated jaws only a few millimetres from the tip. tors for axial or radial components. The fixture is unobstructed for ease of use with bandoliers. Lower cost through innovative design The LCR400 sets a new price standard for a high performance LCR bridge. Advanced design techniques utilising the latest component technologies have made this possible. Now a precision component measurement system is within the budget of every area of a company from the laboratory through to goods-inward inspection. Non-volatile set-ups As well as remembering the last used set-up, the LCR400 incorporates non-volatile memory for up to nine complete in- strument set-ups for rapid recall. Automated results logging An RS-232 interface is provided for linking to a PC. Optional Windows based software (LCR-PCLink) is available which al- lows results to be logged onto a PC (save to a file and to the Alternative connection methods screen) and enables instrument set-ups to be saved and re- An adaptor is available which converts the built-in test fixture stored. into a set of four BNC sockets. This can be used to connect the LCR400 to external test fixtures or test lead sets. TTi also offers a high quality Kelvin Clip test lead set suitable for precision four terminal measurements.
