General Radio 1659

High Performance Passive Component Tester

The GenRad 1659 Digibridge RLC Tester is an easily programmable, microprocessor-based high performance passive component tester. It automatically identifies the type of component under test and measures in the proper range. The result is simple, precise, unambiguous RLC component testing.

FEATURES:

• Easy to Use
• Accuracy of 0.1% for RLC measurements
• Four test frequencies of 100Hz, 120Hz, lkHz and 10kHz
• A choice of three test speeds: 2,4, or 8 measurements per second to complement automatic handling equipment and maximize throughput.
• A choice of two measurement modes: Continuous or Triggered (single measurement or average of 10) ensures measurement flexibility.
• 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.
• A built-in test fixture for fast setup and ease-of-use when testing axial and radial lead components.
• Guarded Kelvin measurement techniques protect measurement integrity.
• Automatic self-test and diagnostic check maintains reliable, error-free operation.
• Automatic limit comparison and binning ensure fast, mistake-proof sorting of components.
