KJ4UO asked:
If I tune my SWR for 1:1 and go back and measure each value of the
capacitors and inductor, is there a equation or computer program I can
use these measured values to obtain my complex impedance at the input
of the coax cable?
Jim Tonne, WB6BLD, wrote a program in Visual Basic that does
precisely that for all common tuner configurations. It is
called Revload and can be downloaded for free from:

As others have pointed out, this is not a particularly accurate
way of measuring impedance, but it should be adequate for "ballpark"
estimates.
