INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of Extech's Model 380193 LCR meter. This meter will accurately
measure capacitors, inductors and resistors using the test frequencies of 120Hz and 1 kHz. The
dual display will simultaneously display the associated quality factor, dissipation or resistance value
using a series or parallel equivalent circuit.
The included RS-232c PC interface feature with Data Acquisition permits the user to capture
readings to a PC for data storage, viewing, printing, and exporting to spreadsheet for graphing and
other data manipulation tasks.
This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable
