Introduction
The Atlas LCR45 is an enhanced handheld instrument capable of performing
detailed analysis of passive components such as inductors, capacitors and
resistors.
As well as standard component identification and value measurement, the
LCR45 can provide a detailed impedance analysis of your component.
The LCR45 can be used in a fully automatic mode, or a number of manual
modes, giving you an ideal combination of speed and flexibility.
Both the component type and test frequency can be set to automatic or manual
modes.
In all modes, the LCR45 provides detailed measurement data including:
Component type.
Component value in real engineering units.
Secondary component value (such as DC resistance of inductors).
Test frequency used (DC, 1kHz, 15kHz* and 200kHz).
For non-DC test frequencies:
o
Complex impedance measurement (
real
and
imaginary
portions).
o
Complex admittance measurement (
real
and
imaginary
portions).
o
Magnitude and Phase of the impedance measurement.
Additional features include:
Fast start.
Continuous fluid measurements (with hold function).
Comprehensive probe compensation measurement.
Enhanced measurement resolution.
Enhanced compensation for component parasitics such as core losses,
dielectric losses etc.
Simple menu system.
Non-volatile user settings.
*For clarity, the test frequency of 14.9254kHz is displayed as 15kHz.
