Laboratory Instruments#

The instruments at each workstation are as follows:

  • Rohde & Schwarz RTM 2024 digital oscilloscope.

  • Rohde & Schwarz HMF 2525 Arbitrary Function Generator.

  • Rohde & Schwarz HMC 8012 Multimeter.

  • Rohde & Schwarz HMC 8043 triple output power supply.

  • Rohde & Schwarz HMC 8042 dual output power supply.

All the above are connected to a high specification PC and can be remotely controlled using the installed Windows software. In addition, information can be sent from the instruments back to the PC; for example, screen images from the oscilloscope can be copied into Word documents.

We have prepared some video briefings on how to use these instruments that supplement the written instructions which follow.
