Utility of Testing and Troubleshooting Tools
:
Many times we cannot carry big or expensive test instruments to the
field, so we have to have a troubleshooting tool kit. Continuity
testers, Logic Probes, DMM, Clamp Meters etc..
It also is sometimes required to build a quick jig or fixture with
electronics to troubleshoot, simulate a problem or to test the
reliability or aging of components and systems. Here you need to be
cost effective, fast and innovative; and build a simple system with
available, affordable or procurable resources. Hence a bit of
circuit design, firmware and software are essential skills for
production engineering.
You can troubleshoot and repair Electronic Equipment easily with Meters
and Continuity Testers. In India the early analog moving coil meters
like AVO meters came from Motwane.
Then we got Philips Analog
Meters, Digital Meters and even Scopes.
Hameg Type Oscilloscopes came early, made by Scientific Mes-Technik.
Power Supplies, Function Generators and Oscilloscopes were available
from Aplab.
