Why doesn't Fieldpiece or Fluke have a ESR function.

[mgenius33]

I've read a lot about the ESR meters being the true way to check a capacitor's integrity. I've even emailed Fluke with no response. My question is, why doesn't the major brands offer this in a meter? I believe the only major difference in the signal output is being a/c rather than d/c for the cap testing equivalent series resistance.

An ESR meter uses a pulsed signal while your DMM is capable only of a straight DC power signal.

I agree, would be cool if they could incorporate that into a DMM. Russel?

I don't know, consider one of these.

There are several nice ones out there. But this one seemed
to offer the most in the way of features and specs for the money.

Below I attached a couple of pics. One showing me
testing a known good 189uf cap with low ESR level.
The other is a 105uf cap that has low capacitance
value and very high ESR.
