# Hioki IM3536 8 MHz LCR Meter # Hioki IM3536 8 MHz LCR Meter ## Key Features At A Glance - LAN, USB, GP-IB, RS-232C, and EXT. I/O (HANDLER) interfaces standard across all model variants - Measurement frequency covering DC and 4 Hz to 8 MHz - Fastest measurement time of 1 ms - Basic accuracy of ±0.05% rdg. (Z), with a guaranteed accuracy range from 1 mΩ to 200 MΩ - Low-Z high-accuracy mode on the 100 mΩ, 1 Ω, and 10 Ω ranges for low-ESR and low-inductance work - Combined LCR and DC resistance (Rdc) measurement in a single instrument - 5.7-inch color TFT display with touch panel - Saves up to 32,000 measurement results with USB flash drive support The IM3536 is a general-purpose LCR meter for measuring electronic components such as capacitors and inductors. It brings together a broad measurement frequency span of DC and 4 Hz to 8 MHz with a guaranteed accuracy range that starts at 1 mΩ and extends to 200 MΩ, serving a wide range of applications from R&D through production lines. Across development and research work, the IM3536 supports measurement under varied conditions — for example analyzing a coil's resonance point while sweeping frequency, or evaluating a sample that exhibits signal dependency by changing the measurement signal during the test. Named applications include electrolytic capacitor low-ESR measurement and power supply coil impedance testing, which demands strong frequency characteristics. On the production side it offers comparator (Hi/IN/Lo) and BIN judgment for component sorting, plus a continuous measurement mode that runs one component through multiple saved condition sets in a single test session.
