Data Sheet

Comprehensive measurement functions

4230 LCR Meter not only measures all the parameters normally encountered in a standard LCR meter but it measures many more in addition to give a truly versatile instrument.

Standard parameters

      Impedance - Z
      Series and Parallel Resistance - R
      Capacitance - C
      Inductance - L
      Dissipation Factor - D
      Quality Factor - Q
      Phase Angle – Ø

Additional parameters

      Reactance – X
      Conductance – G
      Susceptance – B
      DC Resistance – Rdc (simulated measurement using 5 Hz square wave)

Flexible full remote control

Full control and output capability is a significant benefit of the 4230 LCR Meter.  Three interfaces are included as standard: RS232, GPIB and Bin Handler.  Remote control and printing are both very straightforward.

Fast, accurate repeatable measurements

Testing electronic components is easy with the 4230 LCR Meter.  Connect the component and the meter accurately measures the value - displaying the selected primary and secondary value with a basic accuracy of 0.1%.

Up to 127 instrument set-up conditions can be saved and recalled for rapid and consistent measurements. Connection to the component to be tested is made using one of a range of 4 terminal Kelvin connectors.

Full adjustable range - 100 Hz to 200 kHz

With a variable frequency from 100 Hz to 200 kHz components can be tested at the correct operating frequency.

Superb performance and economical price

The 4230 LCR Meter provides unbeatable performance, 100 Hz to 200 kHz frequency range, 0.1% basic accuracy and comprehensive measurement functions.

RS232, GPIB and bin handler interfaces are all in the instrument as standard.

Accessories

Optional accessories include a four terminal component fixture, Kelvin clips, SMD Tweezer and BNC to 4 terminal component fixture.
