GenRad 1689 Precision RLC Digibridge

The GenRad 1689 Precision Digibridge RLC Tester gives you the best performance for your most demanding applications whether they be production test, incoming inspection, component design and evaluation, process monitoring or dielectric measurement. It is a versatile, full function microprocessor-based passive component tester that's available in either bench top (1689) or rack mountable, high speed (1689M) models..

The GenRad 1689 Digibridge is a sophisticated, microprocessor-controlled tester that brings new levels
of flexibility, simplicity and accuracy to RLC 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 1689/1689M Digibridge provides a powerful combination of features designed to maximize
productivity in all testing environments.

• 0.02% Accuracy for 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 manufacturerspecified
  voltage levels.
• Full range keyboard-selectable test speeds: 1689-Variable up to 30 measurements per second
  with high speed option; 1689M-Variable up to 50 measurements per second with high
  speed option, complements automatic handling equipment to maximize throughput.
• Two selectable measurement modes: Continuous and Triggered with averaging available
  in each ensures measurement flexibility.
• Optional IEEE-488 Bus and Handler Interface enable remote programming and allow
  the addition of a component handler to optimize throughput.
• Wide choice of measurement parameters allow you to work with familiar units.
• A full, five-digit LED display for RLC measurements and a four-digit readout for D and
  Q testing, simultaneously display both test results for each measurement, automatically.
• Guarded Kelvin measurement techniques protect measurement integrity.
• Automatic limit comparison and binning ensure fast, mistake-proof sorting of components.
• Automatic self-test and diagnostic check maintains reliable, error-free operation.
• Automatic Binning Summary capability simplifies reporting of measurement results.
