Frequently Asked Questions

What frequencies can the LCR200 meter test?

It supports five test frequencies: 100Hz, 120Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz, and 100kHz.

How do I select a specific measurement parameter (L/C/R)?

Press the L/C/R button to step through and manually select the desired primary parameter: Auto-LCR, Auto Range, Auto Parameter, Auto-L, etc.

Where does the meter automatically detect whether to use series or parallel calculation?

The default selection is based on impedance; a parallel circuit (Lp, Cp or Rp) is selected if impedance > 10kΩ, and a series circuit (Ls, Cs or Rs) is selected if impedance < 10kΩ.

What manual setting can I use for comparing two components?

Use the REL/% button to measure % deviation from a stored reference value in relative mode.
