WATERLOO, Ontario, Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new
model of the LCR-Reader-MPA offers Bluetooth connection enabling
remote test data recording. The main feature of the tool is its'
LCR-MPA-BT Logger program that allows users to set specific test
parameters for each component in the predefined list and then to
automatically grant Pass/Fail status to the tested component.
LCR-Reader-MPA is the newest model in the LCR-Reader line of
digital multimeters; this model features a 0.1% basic accuracy and
wide range of features including 100 kHz test signal level,
oscilloscope, AC/DC current measurement, easy open/short testing,
and super cap testing to 1,000 mF. When the gold-plated tweezer
probes are in contact with a component, either loose or mounted,
the MPA will automatically determine the type of component and best
test parameters. It will then test the component with 0.1% basic
accuracy and display all measured values and test settings on the
display. LCR-Reader-MPA BT offers all the same functions and
features as MPA while also offering Bluetooth connectivity.
The ability to test components with virtually no set-up makes
component sorting much faster, but it becomes order of magnitude
more efficient with the ability to automatically grant pass/fail
status and record the test results into a spreadsheet. The
automatic recording is the most useful for time-sensitive tasks,
such as production lines and quality control. All measurement
values can be exported to an Excel file for later analysis.
To use the LCR-MPA-BT Logger program, simply connect the BT
dongle to PC, turn on the MPA and only then start the program and
click Connect button to establish the connection. The program will
show that the device is connected and is ready to make testing. The
main display shows what is shown on the devices' display: main
impedance value, secondary value, signal test level, test frequency
level, and equivalent circuit. This main section also allows users
to change these basic test parameters right from the program; when
they are clicked, a small pop-out menu shows the various settings
for that parameter and enables editing.
The main feature of the program is the Pass/Fail assessment
feature. Users can set custom profiles for each component in a
predefined list (such as BOM); set the desired values for impedance
values and test settings (frequency, signal level and circuit
model) and measure components. The main display of the screen will
turn red if the component does not meet the desired specifications.
The values are also recorded into the rows below the main display,
with the "Test" column turning red or green depending on the
outcome. This is an invaluable feature for quickly sorting
components for various tasks. Users can see if the component is a
pass or fail with just a glimpse.
The Logger program allows for testing single components or
multiple components. Single Component testing is best for testing
the same type of component repeatedly. Simply set the desired
values and test, pressing the space bar for each measurement to
record.
The Multiple Component testing allows users to set various types
of components with different desired values. This is best for
setting a range of components for a full PCB. Users can name and
set different values for Capacitors, Inductors and Resistors and
measure accordingly by selecting the desired component from the
list. Instead of recording a list of values like the Single
Component testing, Multiple Component testing overrides the last
measurement in the same row.
Currently the LCR-Reader-MPA BT works with PC and Android
devices only. Recorded values can be used with various
spreadsheets, such as Excel.
Siborg offers a range of test instruments for Surface Mount
Technology, including their most prominent line, the LCR-Readers
and traditional Smart Tweezers LCR-meter. They offer the basic
LCR-Reader model which offers users a 0.5% basic accuracy and few
features but with a lower price tag. They also offer pre-bundled
task kits in their store which include a device and various
accessories. The Kelvin Probe Connector kit is an extension for
tweezers-based multimeters that can be used as a probe station
allowing to test components larger than the tweezers' spread.
The LCR-Reader Store offers all Siborg's test equipment,
accessories and parts; many are also available on Amazon sales
channels in North America and
Europe.
The new LCR-Reader-MPA BT model is only available from
LCR-Reader Online Store and Taobao store of AI Rox company in
Shenzhen, China.
