===Basic equipment=== [[Image:Voltmeter.jpg|thumb|right|[[Keysight]] commercial digital voltmeter checking a prototype]] The following items are used for basic measurement of voltages, currents, and components in the circuit under test. * [[Voltmeter]] (Measures [[voltage]]) * [[Ohmmeter]] (Measures [[Electrical resistance|resistance]]) * [[Ammeter]], e.g. [[Galvanometer]] or Milliammeter (Measures [[current (electricity)|current]]) * [[Multimeter]] e.g., VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) or DMM (Digital Multimeter) (Measures all of the above) * [[LCR meter]] - inductance (L), capacitance (C) and resistance (R) meter (measure LCR values) The following are used for stimulus of the circuit under test: * [[Power supply|Power supplies]] * [[Signal generator]] * [[Digital pattern generator]] * [[Pulse generator]] [[Image:Digital Multimeter Aka.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Voltcraft ''M-3850'' portable [[multimeter]]]] The following analyze the response of the circuit under test: * [[Oscilloscope]] (Displays voltage as it changes over time) * [[Frequency counter]] (Measures [[frequency]]) And connecting it all together: * [[Test probe]]s
