The '''BK Precision 879B''' is a 40000 count (10000 for the secondary display) 0.5% handheld LCR meter with USB connectivity (VCP). It looks similar to the '''Escort design''' which other devices are based on, but really is a '''new design''' by BK Precision. The serial interface communicates SCPI commands over UART.

The 879B is '''currently not supported''' by mainline sigrok. Ideally there'd be a '''scpi-lcr''' driver if the command set is found to be of general nature, and not specific to this very device.
