Agilent Technologies Announces Industry-Standard LCR Meter With Three Cost-Effective Options

Agilent Technologies Inc. recently announced the E4980AL precision LCR meter with three cost-effective frequency options: 300 kHz, 500 kHz and 1 MHz. The new meter options are a follow-on to Agilent's industry-standard E4980A LCR meter, which has long offered the best price/performance and application breadth among basic LCR meters.
