Nice instrument. I've not used a Hioki LCR meter.
I had a quick look at the PDF, the results look like it's functioning well. Unless I missed something, aside from the very large inductances at high frequency, which might not be very relevant, all remainder measurements looks very close to the comparison measurements, at least so close that any circuit designed for normal tolerances should function extremely well if components are selected based on measurements from the Hioki.
Thanks, I'm a big fun of Hioki LCRs. The quality is unmatched so far from what I've used.
There are two Hiokis on there (of mine, and the 3rd one is Mike's) all are really nice.
Regarding the 3532-50, for the most part it agrees pretty well. However, there are a few things that are too far off.
For example, 1M and 10M resistance measurements are generally bad. 100k is also too far out to be acceptable, though not nearly as bad. 10kΩ and below generally seem close enough.
Step dissipation factor is not good enough either, especially in the smaller values.
Capacitance is generally pretty good except for 10pF at 10kHz and below. Granted, that's not really expected to do very well, but was father off than the other meters.
Inductance in general is pretty good except for 100nH is way off. However, I don't think those inductors were anywhere near where they should have been for specified test frequencies. That said, it was still farther off than any of the other meters. I have new caps and inductors to try out on a new board now that all these meters have been compared.
Still generally pretty darn good for a 23 year old LCR meter. Hioki does adjustments with no extra charge when they do calibrations for Hioki gear, so I'm waiting to hear back from them for pricing.
Thanks,
