The QuadTech 1689 Precision RLC Digibridge™, which measures resistance, capacitance and inductance, has found wide acceptance in production and incoming inspection applications because of its high measurement speed and accuracy. Its impedance and frequency ranges have also made it an important tool for component engineering and quality control measurements. The 1689 also has been found to be a valuable instrument in many Standards Laboratories, where it has assumed tasks that used to require manually-balanced bridges and special test setups. In addition, it provides some new measurement capability not previously available. This application note discusses some of these applications and techniques.
