BK Precision 878B - 40,000 Count Dual Display Handheld LCR Meter

Measures capacitance, resistance (of non-inductive components) and inductance. Components can be measured with selectable test frequencies in series or parallel modes as desired. The 4 1/2 digit main LCD displays values to 19,999, and the secondary 3 digit 1,000 count display reads D or Q. Both models can be used in either auto ranging or manual ranging modes. Features Selectable test frequencies 120Hz, 1KHz Simultaneously displays measured component value and Q or Dissipation Factor (D) Display hold Relative mode Tolerance mode RS 232 Interface (cable and software required)

The model 878B 40,000-count handheld LCR meter measures inductance, capacitance, and resistance quickly and precisely.

Fast auto ranging and quick measurement configuration such as measurement parameter and test frequency selection make the 878B 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.

BK Precision 879 was discontinued - Replaced by the following:

BK Precision 879B - Dual Display Handheld LCR Meter with ESR measurement

The 879 measures capacitance, resistance (of non-inductive components) and inductance. Components can be measured with selectable test frequencies in series or parallel modes as desired. The 4 1/2 digit main LCD displays values to 19,999, and the secondary 3 digit 1,000 count display reads D or Q. Both models can be used in either auto ranging or manual ranging modes. Features Selectable test frequencies 100Hz, 120Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz Simultaneously displays measured component value and Q or Dissipation Factor (D) Display hold Relative mode Tolerance mode Backlight RS 232 Interface (cable and software required) .

The model 879B 40,000-count handheld LCR meter measures inductance, capacitance, and resistance quickly and precisely. Additionally, the 879B supports remote control using SCPI commands and can calculate impedance, Θ, and ESR, features typically found only in bench LCR meters.
