OVERVIEW
Smart Tweezers (ST) is a portable impedance measuring
device. ST is capable of measuring resistance, capacitance
or inductance over a range of more than 8 orders of
magnitude. The device has a basic accuracy better than
0.2% (resistance) and operates at four test frequencies.
Smart Tweezers is controlled by a microcontroller that sets
measurement conditions, processes data and operates the display
and user interface. The device has a unique mechanical design that
allows manipulation SMT components with size down to 0201.
In actual use Smart Tweezers provides more accurate results than
most of the benchtop LCR meters due to small and very predictable
parasitics of its probes. Probability of measurement errors
associated with setup (wires, tips, probes and etc.) is minimal.
