Default Re: Tektronix 7623A poser

That capacitance is way too low for the ESR70, 1 uF is minimum!

To somewhat defend the ESR, it is actually very useful in its own domain. Measuring 'in-circuit' is always a bonus and need to be interpreted carefully. Out of circuit I have found it accurate and quick. The only limitation is that you can't alter things like the ESR test frequency but given its tiny size I can forgive that
