The HIOKI IM3570 impedance analyzer is an impedance measuring instrument which achieves high
speed and high accuracy.
It has two functions: an impedance analyzer capable of the sweep measurement of frequencies and mea-
surement signals, and an LCR meter capable of simultaneously displaying up to four items under individ-
ual measurement conditions.
This instrument can be used for a wide range of applications because you can set a wide range of mea-
surement conditions - a measurement frequencies from 4 Hz to 5 MHz and a measurement signal levels
from 5 mV to 5 V.
Overview
Chapter 1
1.1 Product Overview Features
Wide range of measurement
conditions(p. 41)
Capable of measurement under a wide range of mea-
surement conditions: measurement frequencies from
4 Hz to 5 MHz and measurement signal levels from 5
mV to 5 V.
Capable of high-speed
measurement
High-speed measurement is possible.
Measurement can be performed at a maximum speed
of 0.5 ms (when 100 kHz, FAST, and display OFF).
Sweep
measurement (p. 131)
Measures frequency character-
istics and level characteristics,
and displays a graph on the
color LCD of the instrument.
Comparator function
LCR function: (p. 86)
Capable of making HI/IN/LO pass/fail judgments
based on the measurement values for two parameters.
ANALYZER function: (p. 197)
A pass/fail judgment can be made for sweep mea-
surement results.
BIN function (p. 93)
With LCR mode, easily ranks measurement items into
up to 10 classifications based on the measurement
values.
Low impedance can be measured
with high degree of accuracy
LCR meter mode includes a setting for measuring low
impedance with a high degree of accuracy. When this
setting is selected, the influence of contact resistance
is reduced and a disconnection (incorrect connection
of a probe) can be detected during 4-terminal mea-
surement.
Continuous measurement
function (p. 265)
Capable of consecutive measurements using mea-
surement conditions stored in the memory of the in-
strument. This function enables, for example, making
pass/fail judgment with different measurement condi-
tions.
(Example: Performing C-D measurement with 120 Hz
and Rs measurement with 100 kHz in succession)
Various interfaces
supported
Supports the most suitable exter-
nal I/O (handler interface) for pro-
duction lines, RS-232C, GP-IB,
USB, and LAN.
