Can i use Agilent U1733C as a in circuit tester???

i'm going to buy LCR/ESR meter.

i have few question regrading this meter please help me

Is U1733C meter use as in circuit measurement like, in circuit capacitor and ESR measure (without desoldering from board)???

i also have interest in mastech MS5308. but i have same question, is this meter measure in circuit measurement ???

As long as the circuit is powered off and the capacitors are discharged, the capacitor can obviously be measured without being desoldered from the board. The problem you may face is, you'll get incorrect readings when that capacitor is in parallel with other capacitors. You'll get higher capacitance and lower ESR values than the real value.

Hope this helps.
