Hello

An Hioki online calculator

https://www.hioki.com/e/products/lcr/im_calc_accur/

a IET LCR comparison

https://www.ietlabs.com/basic-accuracy-of-an-lcr-meter

I am not an expert in LCR but in all test equipment price follow the performance .




KungFuJosh:
According to Hioki's Range chart (not accuracy) they have very limited coverage below 1pF on the IM3536, which appears to be their best option currently.
BirdManPhil:
Do I have to spend 20k just to test a 0.1uf cap though...

There is but they are junk.

--- Quote ---These tweezers are as good better than tweezers that cost 3x as much. They also held their own (and helped correct bad fw) in bench meters that cost 10 to 20x as much.

This ^

I have.
ST3 that are nearly 20yrs old < now retired in favour of the far better ST42.

A ST5 variant has regularly been of interest as a replacement to ST3 but not at that price.  :scared:

In the meantime, I had taken a look at Shannon's website.
But it doesn't say much about the ST42, I would have expected more technical details.
The accuracies given there are sufficiently low for C and L, but for R it could sometimes be too much for precision resistors.
However, these would be exceptions, before we get too excited. ;)
The website was last updated in 2022, the corresponding firmware available there is also 2 years old, there was probably nothing more to improve.
Although I ordered the ST42 later than the ET4510, I assume that it will arrive sooner because customs formalities are no longer necessary.
