B&K Precision 878B/879B Dual Display Handheld LCR Meters
B&K Precision 878B and 879B Dual-Display LCR Meters are 40,000-count, handheld LCR meters that measure inductance, capacitance, and resistance quickly and precisely. The 879B supports remote control using SCPI commands and can calculate impedance, Theta, and ESR, features typically found in bench LCR meters only. Fast auto ranging and quick measurement configuration such as measurement parameter and test frequency selection make the B&K Precision 878B and 879B LCR meters very simple to operate.
The meters include 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.
