Extech LCR200 LCR Meter: An Introduction and Review

*******************
UPDATE 8-22-19
I have added a Part 2 video, sort of a sequel to this video. In the separate video, I go into more detail and demonstrate how to use this meter's more advanced features, and I also cover the replacement meter I got after the first one was returned, and whether the problems were resolved.
*******************
This video is an overview/introduction to the Extech model 'LCR200' LCR meter, and my first impressions and review of the product.

As a nontech, your in depth overview of the product was excellent as usual. And have to come to realize why I'm a nontech dolt...be well friend.

I may confirm the same issue connectors in mine . You cannot easily insert the terminals in not because the connectors are to tight but because the edges are to sharp. Just insert a chip of some in their corners to keep it slight open and you.ll be able then to insert easily any terminal.

I emailed Lutron (which sells the same meter) On his meter it said "DCR" and the value was 9.840, this was their reply: Bar Graph: The ratio of the size of the reading to the full load (20000)
Molecule 9840 (reading value) Denominator: 20000 (full load value 20000 count) The current reading is 49.2% of full load.

Extech LCR200 is the same as Lutron 9184 (a both made in Taiwan) and Sanwa LCR700 (Japan), this all product using Chipset ES51920, in my country (Indonesia) im buying Lutron 9184 and the price is Rp (1'950'000) or 133'7 US dollar (2021)

You left the long Amazon review didnt you. It was the best review ive ever read because the datasheet was a joke. I bought it anyway as im just going to be winding inductors for circuits i build and maybe wind some pickups i have that are dull. I also want to be able to make my own transformers for learning. It wasnt my first choice for a meter but amazon had it on sale for 5 payments wirh zero interest and of all my way too overpriced gear i have wirh features ill never, ever use i couldnt measure inductance. I know there are ways but i just want it to be no hassle. 115 dollars after tax in nova Scotia for the smd clips is robbery. Flir bought up all the small coupanies that fluke didnt own and only care about their own meters. I have the flir dmm92 i think and its ok. I got it second hand off a buddy who wanted the blue tooth version for his youtube channel. I collect meters but dont have that many yet but i have lots of cheap ones for peoeple who want to learn. Well cheap is relative. Anyway, great video brother
