New page

A lot of electronics measurements use the same equipment: power supply, function generator, oscilloscope.. It makes sense to consolidate this into a single, fixed measurement platform that is already in the workshop and is complete with relevant cables and such.

== Current todo ==
(not necessarily in this order)
* Find or build an enclosure
* Figure out what to put in it
* Think out how to keep the dust out when rig is not in use
* Order what we still need
* Put it together
* Create documentation sheets (as described below)
* ???
* PROFIT!

== Enclosure ==
I (smeding) haven't thought about this too much yet but a reasonable idea seems to be a trolley of some sort (or something without wheels) with separate shelves.

== Contents ==
* Power supply
* Oscilloscope
* Function generator
* Bench-top multimeter
* Logic analyzer
* Timer?
* Relevant cables:
** Banana-plug leads, assorted colours - we can manufacture these
** Banana-plug to crocodile clip leads, red & black - we can manufacture these
** Multimeter probes, 1 red / 1 black - we have these
** BNC <-> BNC (50 ohms, semi-decent coax) - to be acquired ([httphttp://allekabels.nl/BNC-Kabels/76/308/BNC-Kabel.html possibility])
** BNC <-> crocodile clips - to be acquired ([httphttp://allekabels.nl/BNC-Kabels/76/311/Meetsnoer.html possibility])
** BNC t-junctions - we have these
** 'scope probes - we have these
* Documentation - both simple, single-sheet summaries for beginners (see below) and full manuals where we can find them.

== Documentation ==
The main idea for this part is to write up basic one-sheet introductions to the various instruments at our disposal. Necessary information would be (order isn't fixed):
* What the instrument does (measure voltage, produce a voltage, etc.)
* When to use it
* Limitations
* A walkthrough for doing a measurement (for a 'scope: from "attach probes to device and circuit" to getting the image you want)
* Issues/features specific to the instruments at RevSpace

Devices to cover:
* Power supply
* Multimeter
* Oscilloscope
* Function generator

Todo for this part:
* Writing
* Graphic design, pictures, any artwork (diagrams?) - nothing too fancy, just enough to make it clear
* Put them online and print them
