Revolutionary LCR Meter: Unprecedented Accuracy and Wide Ranges

The Sciospec LCR-1 is a PC-based single-channel LCR meter that offers 2-, 3- and 4-port measurements across a wide frequency range of 100mHz to 500kHz. With its impressive capability of measuring from 1mΩ to 1TΩ, 10fF to 1kF, and 1nH to 1TH, it is a versatile tool for various applications.

One of the key features of the LCR-1 is its ability to expand the upper frequency range to 1 or 10MHz. This flexibility allows users to perform measurements on a broader spectrum of components. Additionally, the LCR-1 comes with PC-based software for automated measurements and analysis. The software enables users to display up to four parameters simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view of the measurements.

"Results are evaluated in terms of equivalent circuit models," according to parts distributor Saelig Company. "Real-life components include parasitic components, both capacitance and inductance. LCR-1 can determine the values of inductance, capacitance, and resistance, or combinations thereof."

The LCR-1 boasts a base accuracy of 0.01% over most of the central ranges. However, at extremes of component value and high frequency, the accuracy decreases to 10%. This information is graphically represented, allowing users to understand the limitations of the meter in different scenarios.

Ranging is automatic, with a manual triggering mode available for specific requirements. The LCR-1 also offers four presets for storing measurement parameters, making it convenient for repetitive measurements. Users can customize settings such as port configuration, integration time, averaging, and compensation to suit their specific needs.

Measuring approximately 110 x 220 x 60mm and weighing 1kg, the LCR-1 is compact and portable. To complement its functionality, a range of test adapters is available, including fixtures for wired components, SMD components, dielectrics, liquids, and Kelvin clips.

Saelig Company sees the LCR-1 being used in material testing, particularly for materials used in sensors and actuators, such as in the automotive industry. It also highlights the LCR-1's potential in educational settings and research laboratories, where it can serve as a valuable tool for teaching and conducting experiments related to electrical circuits and components.
