4300 SERIES
4300 SERIES LCR METERS
Overview
A range of easy to use LCR meters with comprehensive measurement functions.
Accurate and fast measurements may be made from 20Hz to 1MHz (43100) making the 4300 series the ideal choice for many applications in the test or production environments.
Two test mode enables consecutive measurements to be made with two different instrument parameters set. For example two AC measurements may be made at different frequencies or an AC and a Rdc measurement may be made.
Measurement limits may be set in Scale or Operator modes.
An optional component Binning module may be specified which provides an interface to component sorting machines. Limits set in the instrument Binning mode enable a wide range of components to be sorted while the choice of isolated or non-isolated modules give interface flexibility.
The optional Scaleizer handler module provides PASS/FAIL and data synchronisation relay outputs for limit checked measurements. Two output signal configurations are available.
Up to 20 measurements set ups can be saved with user defined names for later recall.
All 4300 series instruments may be externally controlled using the standard RS232, GPIB, USB or LAN interfaces.
