AUTOMATED MEASUREMENTS
Take measurements faster with Smart Tweezers™ using the automatic component
identication function eliminating unnecessary trial and error time.
Smart Tweezers™ automatically species L, C, or R with parallel and series mode
and selects a proper measurement range and test frequency for high accuracy
measurements. The unit displays component type and more detailed component
analysis such as Z and ESR.

WIDE SPECTRUM OF ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
» Smart Tweezers™ LCR meter allows you to test
various component types, including secondary
components of Dissipation Factor (D), Quality
Factor (Q). This handheld also includes other
functions that result in a more detailed component
analysis.
» The built-in Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
mode helps you better understand the inherent
resistance - behavior typically found in ca-
pacitors across selected frequencies.
» In its DIODE mode Smart Tweezers™ tests diode
polarity and indicates if it is short.
» Smart Tweezers™ has a continuity detector.
Variable beeper sounds for resistance reading
below set thresholds. Additionally, this function
helps to locate shorted conductors (e.g. on a
PCB).
» In manual modes Smart Tweezers™ measures a
specic circuit parameter — L, C, R, Z or ESR.
Manual modes also improves component type
identication for in-circuit tests.
Smart Tweezers™ greatly simplies testing
and troubleshooting process.
Resistance, capacitance and inductance can
be measured with automatic selection of the
test parameters and range.
» Variable test signal output from 0.5 to 1.0 Vrms allows to improve
test precision in different situation e.g. for in-circuit measurement and
loose leaded ceramic capacitors.
» Visible and audible tolerance mode allows to perform component
sorting.
» Math null function allows to store a pre-measured offset and improve
measurement precision.
