An automatic system for measurement of impedance active component using a quasi-balanced method

The paper presents the idea of the possibility of implementing automatic virtual instrument using the quasi ˗ balanced method to measure the active component of impedance (resistance). The system is based on the structure of a non-bridge quasi-balanced circuit. The process of balancing is automatically performed. This meter has been built based on the data acquisition board NI USB-6251 from National Instruments and programming environment LabVIEW. Signal processing is made in an algorithmic way. The measurement of the phase angle is based on short-term Fourier transform. The results of preliminary experimental research are presented in the paper.
