An introduction to a range of equipment used for performing tests and measurements. In this course, students will learn the capability of, and gain experience using, such instruments as a data-logging digital multimeter, a digital oscilloscope, a function generator, a counter-timer, a frequency standard, and a pulse generator. They will also be introduced to the use of transducers (devices which turn real-world conditions such as force, pressure, temperature, position, etc. into electrical signals) and how these devices can be interfaced with a computer.
