Equipment



Welcome to the equipment page.


You can find information on each of the featured items by clicking on it. Use the navigation on the left to jump to a section.

Equipment with a "GPIB" symbol will have a GPIB port and can be used in automated testing setups.

Equipment with a "U/A" is unnavailable or not reservable for the semester, contact the lab manager regarding any questions about equipment availability.
