Measuring impedance (Z)
All circuit components, resistors, capacitors, and inductors
have parasitic components. These include, for example,
unwanted resistance in capacitors, unwanted capacitance in
inductors, and unwanted inductance in resistors. Thus,
simple components should be modeled as complex
impedances.
Set up your LCR meter to measure impedance as shown in
Figure 2- 9.
1 Press to power on the LCR meter.
2 Press to select a suitable test frequency, and press
to select impedance measurement.
Figure 2-8 Impedance measurement with theta
3 Insert a component into the component socket or connect
the test clip to the component leads as required.
To learn more about impedance measurement theories, refer to the
Impedance Measurement Handbook. This document can be downloaded
