   ** Electro caps are best tested with an ESR meter  -  the cap value in uF is   
   irrelevant if the ESR has gone high.   
      
    ESR meters measure caps in circuit.   
      
    You still do not say what kind of Ls you need to measure or why it must be   
   "in circuit".

   **  Spell out what you actually need instead of alluding to some fantasy   
   wish.
