FAIRPORT, N.Y. – Electronics distributor Saelig Co. Inc. in Fairport, N.Y. is offering the LCR-1 impedance analyzer from Sciospec Scientific Instruments GmbH in Bennewitz, Germany, for test and measurement of electrical properties of passive electronic components or other objects at specific frequencies.
The Sciospec LCR-1 impedance analyzer is a PC-based single-channel compact inductance, capacitance, and resistance (LCR) meter that offers precise 2-, 3- and 4-port measurements in frequencies from 100 MHz to 500 kHz.
The LCR-1 offers optional frequency measurement to 1 MHz or 10 MHz, and resistance from 1 milliohm to 1 teraohm, and capacitance from 10 femtofarad to 1 kilofarad, and inductance from 1 nanohenry to 1 terahenry with 0.01 percent base accuracy.
The LCR-1 applies an AC voltage or current signal to a component under test and then measures the voltage across the component. By analyzing the phase shift and amplitude of the voltage and current waveforms the LCR-1 can determine the values of inductance, capacitance, and resistance, or combinations thereof.

The LCR-1 can help identify faulty or out-of-spec components by enabling engineers to pinpoint the exact nature of problems related to inductance, capacitance, or resistance.
The LCR-1 can measure the capacitance and equivalent series resistance (ESR) of capacitors. Real life components also include parasitic capacitance and inductance components.
The Sciospec LCR-1 comes with PC-based software for automated measurements and analysis, with as many as four parameters displayed at the same time. It stores four adjustable presets for measurement parameters, and manual trigger mode are all provided.
