The LCR-800 series by GW Instek is a high quality basic LCR meter. These models are better priced then their LCR-8110G counterparts, however this is not reflected in accuracy. The LCR-800 offers a precision of 0.05% or 0.1% depending on the type of measurement. This allows for high precision measurements of LCR circuits.
The meters can display two measurement values simultaneously due to the double display. For example the meters can display both Resistance or Quality factor, of Capacity and Resistance. This allows for easy measurements.
The meters offer 100 storage slots in which set-ups can be saved. Apart from that the LCR-821 can be connected to a computer via RS-232C terminal. Using the supplied software data can be viewed and stored.
De Models in the LCR-800 series differ mainly in measurement capabilities and connectivity.
