Description
The 1693 RLC Meter is a sophisticated, microprocessor controlled tester that brings new levels of flexibility, simplicity and accuracy to RLC measurement. It's testing automation at its best 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 1693 LCR Meter provides a powerful combination of features designed to maximize productivity in all testing environments.

• 0.02% Accuracy for RLC measurements and 0.0001 Accuracy for DQ measurements.
• Programmable test frequencies from 12Hz to 200kHz for maximum testing versatility.
• Programmable test voltages from 5mV to 1.275V permits testing at exact manufacturer-
  specified voltage levels.
• Full range keyboard-selectable test speeds: 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 maintain reliable, error-free operation.
• Automatic Binning Summary capability simplifies reporting of measurement results.
