BK Precision 878 Overview
The BK Precision 878 measures capacitance, resistance, and inductance. Using the 878, components can be measured in the series and parallel mode as desired. The full 4 digit display reads values to 9999 on each range. The 878 is auto ranging; or manual ranging may be selected. The instrument prompts the user when calibration is needed, and the dual display shows whether to calibrate with an open or short. The 878 simultaneously displays measured value and Q or dissipation factor, Min/Max average, Relative mode, Tolerance test, and has two selectable test frequencies (120 Hz, 1 kHz)
