    LCR meter
    Advanced or Less Commonly used Testing Equipment

    LCR Meter name itself indicates that it is used to measure the inductance, capacitance
    and resistance of electronics components. The inductance, capacitance and resistance
    are denoted by the letters L, C, and R so it is named as LCR Meter. A variety of meters
    are made available in the market, but simple versions of LCR meters indicates
    impedance only for converting the values to capacitance or inductance.
