3535 LCR HiTESTER Component measuring instruments HEAD AMP UNIT Measure across the broad frequency range of 100kHz to 120MHz with the new Model 3535 LCR HiTESTER. The 6ms highspeed measurement capability is particularly useful with the builtin comparator and load functions, and for BIN (classification) measurements, to suit a wide range of applications such as chip inductor and high speed magnetic head testing, as well as other related research needs. Achieve ultimate measurement flexibility by detaching the head amp unit from the main unit and placing it in proximity to the test object so as to minimize the effect of test leads on measurements. The 3535's low price, ideal size and light weight are all achieved by incorporating an automatically balanced bridge circuit with digital control. Never before has such an advanced precision instrument coupled with economical features been placed on the test and measurement market. 1 Detachable Head Amp Detach the Head Amp Unit from the 3535 and extend its reach to the measurement object using a dedicated cable so as to minimize the effect of measurement leads. 3535 MAIN UNIT 9678 CONNECTION CABLE HEAD AMP UNIT Broad Frequency Measurement Range BIN (Classification) Measurement The measurement frequency is set with four-digit resolution from 100 kHz to 120 MHz. Using up to ten classifications of two measurements, measurement values can be easily classified by rank. 6-millisecond Minimum Measurement Time Continuous Measurements Four sampling rates can be selected: FAST, NORMAL, SLOW and SLOW2. The minimum measurement time of about 6 ms (displaying |Z|) provides rapid sampling for optimum production line efficiency. (The measurement frequency range depends on the measured parameter type). Store up to 30 sets of measurement conditions. Of multiple conditions stored in memory, up to five measurements can be made sequentially per condition saved on the screen. With the comparator function, the results of a sequence of measurements can be logically ANDed and output from a single instrument. 14 Parameter Types Load Compensation Function The following parameters can be measured, and selected parameters can be captured using a PC. |Z|, |Y|, θ, Rp, Rs (ESR), G, X, B, Lp, Ls, Cp, Cs, D (tanδ) and Q. A standard component can be measured to obtain a compensation amount to be applied to subsequent measurement values. This function is useful for matching measurement values between different instruments. Adjust for Conditions While Measuring Measurement frequency, signal level and other conditions can be changed while monitoring measurement values, showing the effects of trial measurements and test condition settings. Store Measurement Data Up to 200 measurement values can be stored in the main unit. Saved values can be transferred to a computer or printed all at once. Zoom Display Up to four parameters can be displayed enlarged, for easy observation of the measurement values on production lines and in other situations where the display has to be monitored from a distance. Printer Output With the optional 9442 PRINTER, measurement values, comparator results and screen data can be printed. For Changing Production Lines Utilize the ability to store up to 30 sets of measurement conditions, including comparator values, to provide rapid response to frequent component changes on flexible production lines. Simultaneously Measure up to 4 Parameters Any four of fourteen parameter types can be selected for simultaneous measurement and display. Correlation Compensation Function The constants a and b can be set in the following compensation function expression: Compensation value = a × measurement value + b 2 Automatically Balanced Bridge Circuit with Digital Control ■ EXT I/O Externally control triggering and loading of measurement conditions, and for automated lines, configure output signals including comparator results and end-of-measurement signals at the touch of a button.

The LOW terminal voltage is measured and used to control the phase and amplitude of a secondary oscillator so as to maintain a balanced condition (LOW terminal voltage being zero). The impedance Z and phase angle θ of the DUT are determined according to the amplitude and phase required to maintain the secondary Rout HIGH LOW Rf oscillator in its balanced condition.
