In most cases, an LCR meter is used for measuring impedance values. However, depending on the type of component, these values vary to a greater or lesser degree at different frequencies and levels.

The R&S LCX-K106 option, which is activated using a keycode (to be ordered separately), can be used for dynamic impedance measurements. In these sweep measurements, the impedance values are determined for a series of frequency values. The voltage or current values of the test signals or of the bias signal can also be used as sweep parameters. The results are shown in tables and graphically.

A further option for the R&S LCX100/LCX200 instruments is a set of digital I/O ports. This includes a trigger input (implemented as a BNC connector) and eight data lines for binning. With this function, the measurement results can be divided into up to eight tolerance ranges and the measured components sorted by their values (controlled via these digital lines) into sorting containers installed by the customer.

The hardware of the R&S LCX-K107 option is already installed; the function is activated using a keycode.

As standard, the R&S LCX100 and R&S LCX200 generate internal DC bias voltages of up to 10 V. This already allows a wide variety of measurements to be performed.

The R&S LCX-K108 option extends the range of applications. On the one hand, this provides a larger voltage range when using the external bias ports on the rear of the LCR meters. Voltages of up to 40 V, e.g. from an external power supply unit, can be applied at the two 4 mm safety sockets. In this case, the current is protected by means of an externally accessible 0.5 A fine-wire fuse.

On the other hand, this option allows the internal bias source to be operated in current regulation mode with an adjustable current of up to 200 mA.

As with the previously mentioned option, the hardware of the R&S LCX-K108 option is also already installed. It can be activated using a keycode (to be ordered separately).

The R&SLCX200 LCR meter has more powerful analysis hardware than the R&S LCX100. In addition to DC, the R&S LCX200 base unit offers a frequency bandwidth of 4 Hz to 500 kHz. Depending on the measurement requirements, the R&S LCX-K201 option can be added to the instrument at any time to extend the bandwidth to 1 MHz. Alternatively, the R&S LCX-K210 option is available to extend the bandwidth to 10 MHz.

Both options are keycodes, which can be installed on the R&S LCX200 at any time; no hardware modification or additional calibration is required.
