Functions and Applications of the LCR Meter

The ST2836 LCR meter is the most affordable device in its class. It was developed to offer high accuracy over a wide frequency range at a significantly lower price than the even more precise ST2839. Measurement results can be determined with an accuracy of up to 0.05%. In addition to this high precision, the LCR meter also offers the capability to perform a measurement cycle in less than 6 milliseconds. Fast and accurate measurements are essential for demanding industrial applications. Common application areas therefore include production lines, such as in the automotive sector, as well as measurement laboratories and research and development departments.
