LCR Meters

878B, 879B, and 880 Handheld LCR Meters

The 878B, 879B, and 880 handheld LCR meters are precision instruments designed for measuring inductance, capacitance, and resistance with high accuracy and efficiency. The 879B and 880 models also measure impedance, Theta, DCR, and ESR. The 880 offers advanced features typically found in bench LCR meters, such as a 4-terminal configuration, accuracy up to 0.1%, test frequencies up to 100 kHz, and selectable test signal levels.

These LCR meters are ideal for a variety of applications with their fast auto-ranging, intuitive measurement configuration, and practical features like data hold, Min/Max/Average recording, tolerance sorting, and relative mode. Measurement data can be continuously transferred to a PC via the mini USB interface, and the provided software allows for data logging and remote control using SCPI commands.
