Name for a LCR measure device

[bastiaang]

Hi guys,

I am working on a project where we (me and my friend) are trying to create a LCR measurement device.
There will be a handheld version but also a benchtop version. But for this project and also for the device we need a name.
I only have come up with ReCaIn meter. But this is of course a bit lame.
Therefor we need a sparky and catchy name!   

So please let your creativity flow, nothing is wrong. And help us come up with a name

[duak]

How about RICmeter?  (Resistance Inductance Capacitance)

Veel succes!

[bastiaang]

Well that one is already better ReCaIn meter. Thanks 

Are you dutch?

A few things that come to mind are C-R-I-Spy, CLR-RLC (for Clear RLC and I like that it is a palindrome), and CaLibRate.

[Mr. Scram]

LiCoRice. You're Dutch after all!

[bastiaang]

I like the name LiCoRice, but I don't see how it has anything to do with the Dutch

Mmm I like C-R-I-Spy but also CLR-RLC, didn't thought of that! 
Thank you JugglingElectrons

RaLCie? Pronounced similarly to Ralphie?

You know, make it catchy and so it rolls off the tongue.

[In Vacuo Veritas]

The Licker.

Ah ofcourse

LCR1027Z-800A+ IIse

I will remember this one when this measurement device goes in to production.

  tell you what, I am really looking for a LCD with RGB background colors to realize this feature. I will notify you when it is done.

The Impedanator   

Mmm your idea is even beter that RICmeter

If you come up with a clever way to represent the reading on the screen (or even if it just has a bargraph, and if that feature is rare in LCR meters, which I don't know): Impedisplay. (Inspired by Pye's Scalamp galvanometers of decades past.)

You can buy unbacklit LCDs and backlight diffusers for them separately, and put those together with whatever LED you want (probably especially so if you get custom LCDs manufactured, as Dave recently did some videos on). Or, if you're willing to use an alphanumeric (2 lines, 5×7 pixels per character) display, Adafruit has RGB-backlit ones, both positive and negative text.

Right now I use the MCCOG128064B12W-FPTLW display. But in the future I want to use MCOT128064N2Z-YBM.
The Adafruit RGB LCD is a character display, but I am looking for a graphical LCD.
Therefor you have got this onehttps://www.digikey.nl/product-detail/en/newhaven-display-intl/NHD-C12832A1Z-FS(RGB)-FBW-3V/NHD-C12832A1Z-FS(RGB)-FBW-3V-ND/5057935?utm_adgroup=&mkwid=sgwo1po9t&pcrid=293421467426&pkw=&pmt=&pdv=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgOzdBRDlARIsAJ6_HNnVSAvVgdnfgNFw1lTPsgOPZjG7n4GagaRDrhgy0O-1_U1zOHW9VOIaAg3XEALw_wcB

I only need to think about the usage of the other colors. Like when to use blue or green or maybe yellow as a background.
Otherwise there is no use for a RGB LCD. 

[PointyOintment]

You could assign different colors to different simultaneously measurable parameters, and mix those colors according to the measurements. It would provide an instant visual indication of the approximate values, like the bargraph display on a DMM, but only fully useful to colorsighted people. (Though you could add settings for what color represents what, and various adaptive color schemes for different kinds of colorblindness.)

And a feature to change backlight to red when measured 666   

Make that 666 F or 666 H for an elusive Easter Egg. Getting either of those values is very difficult compared to just using a 1k potentiometer.

[Martin.M]

call it LCR-Master

google means the name is not used for test equipment

If using rgb backlit graphic lcd is too troublesome, or too expensive, you can always just display little animated devil somewhere on the display, or use some cheap TFT or OLED display. It depends on complexity of your device, I guess. You could also try to use different backlight colour depending on measured component, blue on inductors, green on caps and yellow for resistors. Or use it for some other purposes.

I thought of another name: InCaRe - after all we all care about our devices, right?

[bastiaang]

I am already thinking about some easter eggs, like when you place the measurement devices upside down the numbers and text fall down. 
But do you guys have more ideas when it comes to easter eggs. The 666 value part will be implemented.

I really love this name, also the reason is really good. I can almost sell it with this slogan.

What do you guys think about the RGB graphical LCD?
