Handheld instruments for inductance, capacitance, resistance measurements

Click2Contact

Agilent Technologies has introduced handheld instruments that provide greater convenience on the bench or in the field.

According to the company, the three models of handheld capacitance and LCR (inductance, capacitance, resistance) meters are attractively priced and give more engineers easy access to component testing.

Engineers in components manufacturing or electronics assembly are often asked to share a bench LCR meter, which is practical but sometimes inconvenient. By extending the tradition of the company's benchtop models to a lower price point, the Agilent U1701A capacitance meter and U1731A/U1732A LCR meters let engineers perform quick, basic measurements at their convenience.

Key capabilities include one-touch measurements, tolerance testing (with visual and audible indication), value recording (with minimum, maximum and average), and a dual display.

This expansion of Agilent’s handheld line beyond DMMs and scopes brings greater convenience to a broader range of applications. The Agilent U1701A, U1731A and U1732A are available now worldwide.
