Electronic products involve various electronic components, among which the accuracy of the capacitance on the circuit board will affect the performance of the electronic products. Therefore, the capacitance test must also be accurately measured to ensure the performance and life of the product. At present, LCR test instruments are almost always used for capacitance testing, but due to the large size of LCR test instruments, it is not convenient to complete the integration and miniaturization of the test equipment. In addition, LCR test instruments are expensive, complicated to operate, and take too long to operate.
