Overview
The BK878B 40,000-count handheld LCR meter measures inductance, capacitance, and resistance quickly and precisely.
Fast auto ranging and quick measurement configuration such as measurement parameter and test frequency selection make the BK Precision 878B very simple to operate. The meter also includes handy functions such as data hold, Min/Max/Average recording, tolerance sorting, and relative mode.
Measurement data can continuously transfer to a PC via the meter’s mini USB interface, using either the provided data logging software or SCPI commands sent from a custom program.
Features of the BK878B

Other models in the range includes the BK879B and the BK880.
The 879B and 880 also measures impedance, Theta, DCR, and ESR. Additionally, the 880 offers capabilities typically only found in bench LCR meters such as a 4-terminal configuration, basic measurement accuracy up to 0.1%, test frequencies up to 100 kHz, selectable test signal levels and measurement rate.
