M162 LCR Meter

M162 LCR meter is a great complimentary tool to most multi-meters. Regular multi-meters are good in many way. But they usually have rather limited or even no ability for capacitance, inductance, and sub-ohm resistance measurement. The addition of a M162 LCR meter will overcome this deficiency. The DIY kit version of M162 is very easy to build. No special calibration is required to achieve ~1% accuracy.

Highlights of M162 LCR Meter:

• Resistance range: 0.1ohm — 20M ohm
• Capacitance range: 1pF — 20mF
• Inductance range: 1uH — 20KH
• Fully automatic ranging
• Accuracy: about 1%
• Built-in virtual USB comport for data output and firmware upgrade
• Serial data output via USB comport or direct LVTTL
• Display HOLD function
• USB/Battery powered
• Easy to build, easy to use
• Optional acrylic enclosure (sold separately)
