Electronics Problem solving • Get your electronics set before getting the specimin • Is it plugged in? • Is it turned on? • Check connections • Check grounds (plate to cage, cage to rack) • Is your amplification correct? Check settings in handout • Is your scaling (time base and gain/voltage) correct? • You can check the connections and settings on the demo rig or on a classmate’s rig.
