GETTING STARTED
TDI LCR 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 of SMT components with size down to
0201.
In actual use Smart Tweezers provides more accurate results than most of the bench-
top LCR meters due to small and very predictable parasitics of it’s probes. Probability
of measurement errors associated with setup (wires, tips, probes, etc.) is minimal.
