Default TENMA products

One of MCM's reviewers -- who otherwise liked this product -- complained
that the inductance measurements were made at 1kHz. Because the unit
measures the inductor's /impedance/ and /resistance/, then /calculates/
its reactance, there are potential accuracy problems when the resistance
and impedance are of comparable magnitude.


If it's a 1 KHz square wave the harmonics go way higher. Just off the top of
my bald head...


The reactance of an inductor or capacitor is assumed to be a value for a
single frequency.
