1. Description
This Digital LC Meter gives a direct reading of inductance and capacitance on a 3 ½ digits LCD display. Six ranges
from 1pF to 200µF and four ranges from 1µH to 2H give precision readings, which includes virtually all inductance
and capacitance used in electronic engineering laboratory, production, service shops and schools. Its battery
operation, light weight, and small size make it a truly portable instrument.
