A general primer in important equipment in a scientific laboratory.
Contents
Multimeters
- Measuring voltage
- Measuring current (check that fuse isn't blown!)
- Measuring resistance and testing for continuity
- AC signals
- Clamp meter
Power Supplies
- Digital and Analog
- Floating and grounding
- Current/voltage limiting
Function Generators
(Should look at this in tandem with the following oscilloscope discussion)
- Frequency, amplitude, offset, phase
- Frequency sweep/ramp
- Sine, square (incl. TTL), triangle, sawtooth, arbitrary waveforms (possibly a demonstration of Fourier components)
Oscilloscopes
- Voltage/time scale
- Coupling
- Triggering
- Scope probes
- Termination
- Bandwidth, sampling
- Aliasing
- Analyzing data: cursors, averaging, math menu
- Exporting data
- Analog and digital scopes
