Name:_______________________________ Student No:______________________

Required Equipment

• A&D Board, with Power Supply Module

• Tektronix TDS210 oscilloscope.

• A BNC-to-mini-grabber test lead, available in the Computer Engineering Labs.

• A 10k

Ω resistor (1/2 watt, 5%), available in the Computer Engineering Labs.

Initial Inspection

1. [ ] Work on a clean, non-conductive surface. Inspect the A&D Board for damaged components. Check that

the integrated circuit chips are seated tightly in their sockets. Refer to Figure 1 for component layout.

2. [ ] Inspect the Power Supply Module for damage. Inspect the 5-pin circular DIN connector (DIN5) for bent

shell or pins. Inspect the power cable for damaged insulation or strain relief.
