MT 144B - Electrical/Electronic Test Equipment


Credits: 1
Description
This course deepens the understanding of electronic test equipment, including digital volt/ohmmeters (DVOM), oscilloscopes and function generators.

Student Learning Outcomes
  1. Identify the parts of, set the functions and range switches on, and know how to use a digital and an analog multimeter for a variety of purposes.
  2. Adjust the mechanical zero and interpret a reading on the voltage scale and the resistance scale on an analog multimeter. (Using Computer Simulation)
  3. Use the hold button, relative button, and min/max button on a digital multimeter. (Using Computer Simulation)
  4. Describe what an oscilloscope is and how it works, explaining the functions of its different systems and controls.
  5. Identify sine, square, sawtooth, triangle, pulse, step, and complex waveforms.
  6. Perform measurements and analysis of waveforms. (Using Computer Simulation)
  7. Understand a megger, its uses, basic components, function, safety considerations, and set-up procedures.
  8. Define a bridge circuit and identify the components and the function of a Whetstone bridge.
  9. Identify the components, range, function, safety/selection considerations, and set-up procedures for a clamp-on ammeter.
  10. Take a reading and modify the range on a clamp-on ammeter. (Using Computer Simulation)

Prerequisite: MATH 116
