Siborg Systems Inc. is now offering Smart Tweezers Bluetooth enabled ST5S-BT in the
LCR-Reader Store.
The Smart Tweezers ST5S-BT is a Bluetooth enabled ST-5S model with the same features and functions with the added function of remotely recording measurements in real-time. The ability to record measurements is efficient for those who require to record all measurement values and to create a quick reference of previous measurements.
The ST5S-BT connects to computer using a Bluetooth USB receiver stick, or using Android. Eventually, there will be dedicated apps for iOS, Windows and Android. Currently, the receiver stick is needed to connect. Any communication software can receive data, including NI LabView® and Tera Term free software. (Note: the receiver stick is needed when using NI LabView®)
When connected, the receiver stick opens a virtual port that the data is sent over in a string of comma separated values that show exactly what was on the device’s display at the time of the measurement. This string is as shown:
C1.398nF,R3.461kR,10kHz,0.5,S,,,,;
This is explained as the main impedance value and its typle (Capacitor 1.398nF), secondary value and type, test frequency, test signal level, measurement mode (S for serial) and 4 reserved values. The attached photo shows Tera Term software receiving the data. The data sent can be saved into a file or, when using NI LabView®, saved into a database to be processed later.
The ST5S-BT is based on the the ST-5S model and offers the same features as the latter.
Features Include:
- Fully automatic and manual L, C, R, ESR, Q, D and Z measurements
- Basic accuracy of 0.2%
- Variable tolerances of 1, 5, 10 and 20%
- Continuity/diode/short testing
- Extensive menus for customized measurements including offset subtraction, holds and nulls, etc.
- NIST Traceable Calibration Certificate
- 4-way joystick navigation with the ability to change basic features from the home screen
- 1 oz. weight
- Li-Ion battery with micro-USB charging
