Oscilloscopes in Test Measurement

The usefulness of an oscilloscope is not limited to the world of electronics. With the proper transducer, an oscilloscope can measure all kinds of phenomena.XYZs of Oscilloscopes - Tektronix

A Tektronix model 475A portable analogue oscilloscope, a very typical instrument of the late 1970s. This dual-trace, dual-sweep instrument had a horizontal bandwidth of 250 MHz, a maximum vertical sensitivity of 5 mV per division, and maximum (unmagnified) horizontal sweep speed of 10 ns per division. - Oscilloscope - Wikipedia

DMM or Digital Multi Meter

Digital Multi Meter - New Year Resolutions

1. I will not drop the DMM from a height of 4 feet.
2. I will not Test Live Powered equipment in the Ohms Mode.
3. I shall not Measure Mains Voltage in The Current Mode.
4. I shall get it calibrated once a year or at least once a decade.
5. I shall not use it in High Energy Measurements.
6. I will try my best not to give it to my best friend.
7. I can remember Red is Positive and Black is negative.
8. I will wear shoes and stand on a block of wood while i test.
9. I shall not operate the rotary range switch at high speeds.
10. I shall replace the probes-cables-connectors on wear-tear.
11. I shall not accidentally keep the hot-iron near the DMM or leads.
12. I shall not keep DMM on tall table and pull it with the leads.
