Fresh out of college, I had basic knowledge of electronic measurement instrumentation but had to learn the intricacies of proper measurement techniques. Most Importantly, I had to learn the difference between taking a measurement and understanding what the measurement meant as well as determining if the measurement made any sense. You see, these latter techniques are not taught at college but are acquired from experience and, if lucky, from mentorship with subject matter experts (tribal knowledge, if you will). Even after studies of advanced degrees, we have to learn these techniques through hands on experience and mentorship from those of us whom have gone to the “school of hard knocks”.
This guide will serve as a reference manual for the beginner technician as well as junior engineers working in power electronics laboratories. However, these techniques will serve technical “lab rats” working on all electronic analog measurements.
Through this book, I will provide some anecdotes from personal experiences and perhaps bring a smile to some faces. It is my hope that you find this text not only informative but also enjoyable as we relive some of the most esoteric but real-life situations which have made time in the lab very interesting.
