introduction to laboratory oppratus and component
Experiment1: Introduction to laboratory equipment and basic components.
1
OBJECTIVES.
This experiment will provide exposure to the various test equipment to be used in subsequent experiments.
A primary purpose of this lab course is for you to master the use of electronic test equipment. The devices we will be using include DC power supplies, breadboards, digital multi-meters ”DMM”, oscilloscope and a function generator, as well as some resistors, capacitors and inductors, so we can have something to measure on. By the end of this experiment you should be able to tell how to use the equipment to measure voltage, current resistance, inductance, capacitance, frequency, period, rms voltage, peak-peak voltage, phase, as well as knowing how to generate waveforms using the function generator.
NOTE: THIS LAB AND THE APPENDICES SERVE AS INTRODUCTIONS TO THE TEST EQUIPMENT. IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT ABOUT HOW TO USE A DEVICE IN A SAFE AND APPROPRIATE
MANNER, ASK YOUR LAB INSTRUCTOR, OR BETTER YET, READ THE MANUAL. ALTHOUGH
IT IS UNLIKELY THAT YOU WOULD INJURE YOURSELF WITH THE EQUIPMENT IN THIS LAB,
YOU MIGHT DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT. ALSO, YOU MAY SOMEDAY USE EQUIPMENT THAT
COULD INJURE OR KILL YOU IF USED IMPROPERLY.

INTRODUCTION AND TEST CIRCUITS.
The purpose of this experiment is to learn to use the test equipment, in order to do that we need a source of measurements. So we need to build some circuits using resistors and a power supply or the function generator.
In this lab we will be measuring voltages (peak-peak, avg(DC), rms(AC)), current(DC), frequency, period, phase. 3
PREPARATION.
Be sure to read over the appropriate appendices in your lab manual. These will introduce you to the breadboard you will use to construct your circuits, to reading component values off of the components themselves, and to the equipment to be used.
