• Wire/Cables:

1. Power Cable: used to connect 120V AC from power receptacle to an instrument (e.g., power supply, oscilloscope, function synthesizer, etc.).
2. Coaxial Cable: constant impedance cable used to carry time varying signal voltages
3. Banana Plug Wire:
4. 24 AWG Hookup Wire: used to make connections on breadboard

• Solderless breadboard:

Minimize lead lengths, use long banks of holes (buses) for power and ground.

• DC Power Supplies:

DC power supplies change AC to DC and maintains a constant voltage output within limits. The Leader supply on the left also provide current protection. The supply on the right provides ± 15 V outputs.

• Digital Multimeter:

This meter measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, duty cycle, diode test, continuity, and temperature.

1. Please read the meter's specs in its manual.
2. AC/DC current reading mode is usually for very small currents, see meter manual for range.
3. Never attach the meter when set for reading resistance to a circuit with power applied.

• Function Generator:

A device capable of generating one or more desired waveforms (e.g., sine, square, triangular).

• Oscilloscope:

An instrument for displaying instantaneous values of one or more electrical signals as a function of time.
