I did some L, C and R measurements and the readings seem to be very accurate.
However, measurements on SuperCaps seem to be problematic, since incorrect values are displayed here: Although the specifications suggest that up to 9.9 Farad can be measured (or displayed?), a measurement on a 3Farad SuperCap led to completely incorrect results ( much to less; about ~500 millifarads). Maybe another user here can confirm or deny these results with SuperCaps?
Although announced in the description, the following connections are missing on the back: USB, earphone, foot switch
All in all I am very satisfied with the device, despite the open question regarding the SuperCaps.
^Team Eleshop: we updated the page, thanks! Which test voltage and frequency did you use to measure the supercap? Could you share the datasheet and this info with us? Then we'll check with Matrix.
Matrix MCR-5200 LCR precision meter
Details
The Matrix MCR-5200 is a high quality multifuntional LCR meter used to test electronic components. The meter has a wide test frequency band of 40Hz - 200kHz that
is divided in 41 frequency points. Measurements can be done with 8 different test signal levels at an measurement accuracy of 0.1%. This allows the measurement requirements of very different components to be met.
The meter has a 5-digit, 4.3" inch LCD screen on which the direct reading, Δ% or V/I ratio can be displayed. Furthermore, the MCR-5200 features multiple interfaces like RS232 (back), USB (front). There is also a memory where more than 100 sets of internal instrument settings can be stored/recalled.
