Keysight (Agilent) U1732B Handheld LCR Meters

The Keysight U1732B is a portable handheld LCR meter for bench and field component testing. It measures inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) with a dual backlit display and delivers 20,000 counts resolution. One-button operation simplifies measurement selection across four selectable test frequencies.

The instrument automatically calculates phase angle, dissipation factor (D), and quality factor (Q), displayed on the secondary display. Min/Max/Average recording functions support production verification workflows, while Relative mode and Data Hold enable rapid comparative measurements. A visible and audible tolerance mode facilitates component sorting and acceptance testing.

The bright orange casing houses a single 9V alkaline battery, making it suitable for portable troubleshooting and incoming material inspection.
