Introduction
The Atlas LCR is an advanced instrument that greatly simplifies the testing of
passive components.
Traditional LCR bridges are inherently complex and very time consuming to
use.
The Atlas LCR does everything automatically, it tells you the component type
in addition to component value data.
What's more, the Atlas LCR automatically selects the best signal level and
frequency for the particular component under test.
The software is smart; all internal calculations are performed with floating
point maths. This means that precision isn't lost in the complex internal
calculations and all results are displayed in properly formatted and easy-to-
read engineering units, eg. 23.6pF.
Summary Features:

200kHz).
•
Delayed or instant analysis (for hands free operation).
•
Auto power-off.
•
Probe and test lead compensation.
•
Interchangeable probe sets.
•
Automatic ranging and scaling.
•
1% basic accuracy for resistors.
•
1.5% basic accuracy for inductors and capacitors.
