RE: [TCML] meter

["Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>]

I'm sorry - I misspoke.  The 37XR does indeed measure all 3 frequency, capacitance, and inductance, all with reasonable ranges and resolution.  The link that Matt provided for the 37XR actually was for an inferior 34XR, and I failed to notice that.  I retract my rejection of the 37XR.

My 37XR does have inductance. I agree about the capacitance measurments, too
low resolution. Overall though,. I have been quite happy with it.
