yes, the meter that is really good is called LCM3. google it, I really like it, as it reads both capacitance and esr at the same time in circuit ,most of the time.
hello forum members, I have the above cap checker that's having a problem. i'am trying to set the leakage currents for the three different type capacitors. the Electrolytic position can be set to 2ma. the min electrolytic and non-electro, needs to be set to 15ua and 2ua respectively. the eye tube will not close in any position of the adj pots. I changed the two main electrolytics and the 6BN8 tube to no avail. need help please.
hi all, just joined the forum. my name is pete and I live in s. florida. i'am a retired electronics field service tech for Philips . I built an l/c meter I found on an web site. its called LCM3. it works very well. I have some questions about the ESR in circuit measurements. there is a probe that you construct for this purpose. how do you calibrate the meter with this probe in place? should the meter display both the capacitance and the esr value? I burned the pic with Ver.1.25. does this code implement in circuit measurement or do you have to use Ver.1.35? the article for this meter can be found here: [email protected] p.s. i'am in the process of building Mike's version of this meter.
