Product Details
A Breakthrough in Accuracy
LCR Pro1 delivers high accuracy once found only in high-end desktop LCR meters. It provides basic accuracy 0.1% for R and 0.2% for C and L with 5-digit resolution.
The test frequencies can be selected from 100Hz to 100kHz. 100kHz is ideal for measuring small inductance under 1uH. The test voltage can be selected from 0.2Vrms to 1.0Vrms. 0.2Vrms is specially designed for in-circuit debugging because it is low enough to prevent the silicon chips from being active during measurement.
Ultra-Precise Tips
A pair of ultra precise gold-plated tips are mounted on the device with no additional cost. You can use them to pick up and measure SMD components quickly and reliably, even for parts down to sizes of 01005 (0.4 x 0.2mm).
Thanks to the ultra precise tips, you can easily reach the component under test without touching the adjacent components during in-circuit troubleshooting even in a very crowded area.
PC Connectivity
LCR Pro1 can make measurements and charge its battery simultaneously when it connects to a PC via LCR Link1, a USB dongle style data isolator.
Using our free LCR Data Logger software, you can remote control the device from a PC for parameter setup, programming and data logging. Visual measurement is also available for you to see directly where the component under testing is located on the board you are testing.
Note: PC communication requires LCR Link1 (purchase separately).
Additional Features for LCR Pro1 Plus
LCR Pro1 Plus has all the great features that come with the LCR Pro1, plus an additional LED testing function and excellent sensitivity to measure very small inductance down to just a couple of nHs thanks to the ultra low noise design and 100kHz testing frequency.
In LED testing, LCR Pro1 Plus lights up the LED and displays its electrical parameters, such as polarity, forward voltage and forward current. When testing bi-directional LEDs, the electrical parameters will be displayed in each direction.
Note: LCR Pro1 Plus can test both diode and single LED with test voltage up to 2.95V. LCR Pro1 can test diode only.

LCR Research's LCR-Pro1 Handheld LCR Meter is an excellent, tweezers type device for testing and troubleshooting SMD circuits. It is accurate and super easy to use. By automatically identifying resistors, capacitors, and inductors, it chooses the best properties to display without manual range adjustments.The OLED display is 0.96" which is the largest size and resolution I can find in this form factor. The menu and measurement results are very easy to read. The display can be switched to left or right hand operation and its brightness can be adjusted in menu.The gold-plated tips are replaceable. They are shaped to hold loose SMD components, or test the components already soldered to a PCB. If you’ve ever tried to measure SMD components with a typical multimeter - balancing the probes on the SMD components pins to ensure reliable contact - the value of the LCR-Pro1 tweezer type probes is apparent - with LCR-Pro1 meter I had no problem identifying a few parts mixed together on my workbench.The LCR-Pro1 graphic menu is navigated with a 3-way joystick. The joystick control is very convenient and easy to use. The joystick shortcuts - single or double click – are a fast and intuitive way to change parameters without using a menu.The LCR-Pro1 measures both the real and imaginary impedances and to display the theta angle for resistance measurements, series or parallel equivalent resistance or D for capacitance and series or parallel equivalent resistance or Q for inductance measurements. It has many additional functions like continuity, component sorting, diode polarity and direct current measurement.The LCR-Pro1 saved me a lot of time debugging my latest surface mount electronic design projects. I have lots of tiny 01005 and 0201 SMD components placed close to each other on PCB. Probing with the LCR-Pro1 precise tweezers probes is faster and easier compared LCR meters I’ve used before. One handed operation allows the use of another hand to hold and properly position PCB during in-circuit testing. Test voltage can be selected between 0.20 V, 0.50 V and 1.0 V. for accurate in-circuit measurements without turning on semiconductor junctions I use 0.2V setting. The 1.0V is a best choice to measure some types of ceramic capacitors, such as X5R, whose capacitance varies with applied voltage.Another function I really liked is self-calibration. It can be done simply by shortening and opening tips. After self-calibration, I saw parasitic parameters were reduced significantly. For example, resistance was dropped down below 1 milli-ohm when two tips are closed together. It improves measurement results especially for small resistors, inductors and capacitors.The LCR-Pro1 uses a Li-ion rechargeable battery and can be charged from any USB port. The battery life is pretty good. I used my device around one hour a day for a week and it still shows 80% battery capacity.The LCR-Pro1 is a top quality handheld LCR meter for measuring SMD components. I do not use it all the time, but when I do need it, I can’t imagine using any other tool.
