A Highly Integrated Device The LCR Pro1 integrates a pair of tweezers like probes and a LCR meter into one compact, lightweight, battery powered device. It is an all-in- one miniature device that provides a simple and efficient solution for not only measuring SMD components, but also making in-circuit debugging.

A Breakthrough in Accuracy The Pro1 delivers high accuracy once found only in high-end desktop LCR meters. It provides basic accuracy 0.1% for resistance and 0.2% for capacitance and inductance with 5-digit resolution. Each device is fully calibrated on production and shipped with NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceable calibration certificate.

Ultra-Precise Tips The redesigned gold-plated tips are more precise than ever. You can use them to pick up and measure SMD components quickly and reliably, even for the most tiny parts with 01005 size. Thanks to the sharp tips, you can easily reach the component under test without touching the adjacent components during in-circuit troubleshooting even in a very...

PC Communication The Pro1 is able to make measurement and charge battery simultaneously when it connects to PC via the LCR Link1, a USB dongle style communication module. The Link1 is built with a fully integrated isolation technology for delivering power and data safely and blocking the noise from PC effectively.

The LCR Data Logger is an easy-to-use Windows based software that is downloadable for free from our website. It provides an intuitive user interface on PC to remote control the Pro1 that is connected to PC via the LCR Link1. It configures the Pro1 parameters and logs the measurement results to an Excel spreadsheet.

How it works: Visual measurement is a unique feature that indicates the test points on the picture of the board you are testing. When running visual measurement, LCR Data Logger displays both GUI and PCB picture. It can: Automatically set up device parameters for each component for testing.

PCB View in LCR Visual Measurement Component has already been tested: • Filled with green color indicates the result is PASS (red if FAIL). • Component designator (R10) is also display. Component hasn’t been tested yet: • Filled with yellow color indicates this component hasn’t been tested yet.
Page 13
GUI View in LCR Visual Measurement DataView table: • Record PASS or FAIL. • Record test parameters (designator, reference value, test voltage, test frequency, etc). •Record test results. Test results for current component: • Showing PASS or FAIL. • Showing results (actual reading, reference value, error percentage).
