GenRad 1689 and 1689M Precision Impedance (LCR) Meter (RLC Digibridge)

The GenRad 1689 Precision Impedance Meter gives you the best performance for your most demanding applications whether they be metrology, production test, incoming inspection, component design and evaluation, process monitoring or dielectric measurement. It is a versatile, full function patented microprocessor-based passive component tester that's available in a rack mountable, (1689M) model.

The GenRad 1689 Precision Impedance Meter is a sophisticated, microprocessor-controlled tester that brings new levels of flexibility, simplicity and accuracy to impedance measurement. It is a high performance automated tester with a range of programmable test frequencies and test voltages, as well as automatic limit comparison, automatic parameter selection, remote programmability, automatic binning, and automatic zeroing.

The 1689M Precision Impedance Meter provides a powerful combination of features designed to maximize productivity in all testing environments.

• 0.02% Accuracy for impedance (RLC) measurements.
• 0.0001 for D and Q measurements.
• Programmable test frequencies from 12Hz to 100kHz for maximum testing versatility.
• Programmable test voltages from 5mV to 1.275V permits testing at exact manufacturer specified voltage levels.
• Two selectable measurement modes: Continuous and Triggered with averaging available in each ensures measurement flexibility for your impedance measurements
