What is an LCR meter?

Thanks,

Don


"L", the mathematical symbol for inductance, "C", the same for
capacitance,
"R" the same for resistance, so a meter that measures inductance,
capacitance, and resistance ...

Is there anything superior about this equipment over a standard
VOM other than the "L" and the "C"


No, its rather simple. You can buy better true RMS meters. If
you have the need for the LC meter, then its real handy. I don't
understand
why more meters don't have the L, other than the need. If you can measure
C, then it easy to convert to L measurment with the right calculations.

Hmm, interesting,
I have a Capacitance meter, so how do I check an inductor with it ?
