    SMT components with size down to 0201. output of AI provides a signal proportional to the current, I*Ri. In actual use Smart Tweezers provides more accurate results than Voltage across the DUT is measured by a separate signal path most of the benchtop LCR meters due to small and very predictable (amplifier AU), thus providing a pseudo 4-wire Kelvin connection.

    Equivalent circuit diagram Parallel (C < 500 pF), Serial( C > 500 pF) In AUTO mode the Smart Tweezers first tries to perform measurement at 1kHz and then automatically selects the best test frequency. The device is capable of measuring capacitance PERIOd mENU from aproximately 3 pF to 199 μF in AUTO mode.
