RLC measurement is one of the many uses of the Venable Frequency Response Analysis System (see Products page). This function can be greatly enhanced by adding the RLC Measurement Package to provide an accurate, easily-used instrument for measuring values of resistors, inductors, and capacitors. It can also be used to measure values of one or two additional parasitic elements. For example, the user can simultaneously measure the capacitance, ESR, and ESL of a capacitor.
The RLC Measurement Package, for Model 350 and Model 260 Frequency Response Analyzer Systems, includes the RLC Adapter, the Axial Lead Adapter, a set of Kelvin Clip cables, and full software and documentation.
Measured values of components of the circuit under test are displayed on the System's monitor screen. If the user defines minimum and/or maximum values for any component and measured values are not within specified limits, the system "beeps" and highlights the out-of-spec values.
| Measurement Frequency | ||
|---|---|---|
| RLC 260: | 1 to 15 MHz | |
| RLC 350: | 1 to 2.2 MHz | |
| User-selectable for single component, selected automatically for multiple-component circuit. | ||
| Accuracy | ||
| 1 Hz to 1 kHz: | 0.1% | |
| 1 kHz to 100 kHz: | 0.2% | |
| 100 kHz to 1 Mhz: | 0.5% | |
| Optimum Measurement Range | ||
| Resistance: | 10 milliohms to 1 megohm | |
| Inductance: | 1 microhenry to 10,000 henries | |
| Capacitance: | 100 picofarads to 1 farad | |
| Extended Measurement Range * | ||
| Resistance: | 100 micro-ohms to 100 megohms | |
| Inductance: | 10 nanohenries to 1 megahenry | |
| Capacitance: | 1 picofarad to 100 farads | |
| * Extended range loses least-significant digit of accuracy for each decade of measured value outside the optimum measurement or frequency range. | ||
