Recommended Equipment For Electronics Labs
Basic Electronics Lab
Basic oscilloscopes offer the lowest cost signal visualization. With dedicated front-panel controls, automatic measurements including FFT, and intuitive user interfaces, they are simple to operate for even first-time users. A USB port on the front panel allows for easy transfer of waveforms and data to a USB memory stick for documenting lab results.
When paired with the AFG3000 Series arbitrary/function generator, students have the test instrumentation necessary to explore fundamental electrical engineering topics:
- Building block components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, amplifiers, oscillators, op amps, transistors, and control circuits
- Relationship of current and voltage
- Time and frequency domains
- And many more topics

Advanced Electronics Lab
With bench oscilloscopes, analog, digital and serial data signals can be visualized and analyzed with a single instrument. Fast waveform capture rates and deep record lengths provide the performance needed to troubleshoot today's fast digital designs. Automated application analysis - serial data, parallel data, video and power - simplify complex measurement tasks encountered when designing and debugging embedded systems designs. And, bench oscilloscopes are designed to be easy to use with dedicated front-panel controls, innovative Wave Inspector® controls for rapid waveform navigation, and a USB port on the front panel for documenting lab results.
With Tektronix bench oscilloscopes, students have the test instrumentation necessary to explore advanced electrical engineering topics:
- Digital debug
- Serial and parallel data communications
- Operation of FPGAs, ADCs and DACs
- Switch-mode and linear power supplies
- And more
