Agilent U1700 Series handheld LCR meters
expand Agilent’s portfolio of handheld tools
into electronics assembly and passive
components troubleshooting. Better yet, these
handheld models extends the tradition of
Agilent’s industry-leading benchtop units to
more affordable and portable forms. Agilent’s
latest handheld LCR meters in all-new orange
offer capabilities and functionalities equivalent
to the A models.
Agilent U1700 Series Handheld LCR Meters
Data Sheet
Test passive components conveniently, affordably and reliably
with the Agilent U1700 Series LCR meters
— extending the tradition of industry-leading benchtop units
Features
20,000 counts resolution
Dual display with backlight
(for U1732A/U1732B)
Wide LCR ranges with 2 to 4 selectable
test frequencies
Auto-calculation of phase angle
(for U1732A/U1732B), dissipation factor
and quality factor
Tolerance mode: 1%, 5% and 10%
(20% with U1732A/U1732B)
Relative mode
Hold and Min/Max/Average
recordings
Data logging to PC with optional
IR-to-USB cable
No waiting for quick, basic LCR
tests
Sharing a bench LCR meter is practical, but
isn’t always convenient. With Agilent’s new
line of handheld LCR meters, you can perform
quick, basic LCR measurements at your
convenience. Now that they’re available at a
lower price point compared to traditional
benchtop units, everyone on your team can
be equipped for passive-component testing—
on the bench or on the go—without the wait.

readings when you hook the
U1731A/U1731B/U1732A/U1732B to a PC
Uncompromised quality and
reliability
The handheld LCR meters are housed in robust
overmold and tested to stringent industrial
standards. Each LCR meter is also sealed with
a three-year warranty and the assurance that
you can test your components with confidence.
