Why some brands don't do LCR meters?

Like Siglent or Rigol for example?

Not big enough market?

I could really do with a LCR meter with scanner card and data logger software that doesn't cost a fortune  :)

I have not heard about a LCR meter with a scanner card, it would also be rather complicated because the connections from the meter internals to the DUT has to be controlled.

For logging TestController supports a few LCR meters and it is free.

It seems LCR meters are quite specialized, with some of the big manufacuters like Wayne-Kerr and IET not making other general test equipment like DMMs, function generators or scopes. So I guess the overlap in technology between LCR meters and other basic test instruments is quite limited.

For a scanner, I would use an external multiplexer like those made by Keithley (7001) and HP/Agilent/Keysight. But performance might be a bit degraded, especially at higher frequencies.

why dont aston martin do a van or why dont kfc do a turkey burger ?very similar to there main market but different enough not to fit in with there business model

Well, my requirements are rather simple but I don't know where to look for.

I make a lot of multi-tap audio transformers and inductors and I'm trying to find a way to measure their values (and ideally log them) without connecting and disconnecting all the time.

So, in the case of a multi-tap inductor, one end of the LCR would connect to the first pin of the coil and the scanner would connect to the remaining pins, if that makes sense...

Here's a similar set-up
