Equipment for A Perfect General Lab?

Posted by Cliff on from the experiment-with-everything dept.

wdhowellsr asks: "I am currently setting up a lab that will need to provide me with the ability to test equipment for electronic systems from low voltage DC to super high voltage AC. I'm currently getting a Fluke 43b meter to be the primary testing equipment and will be wiring the entire lab to every possible variation of AC and DC voltage. I've tried to find resources on the web that would give me information regarding this but have been unable to find anything. What equipment would you consider for the 'perfect' lab, not just for electronics but for computers, chemistry, and biology?"

  2. Machines that goes ping by rumplet · · Score: 2, Funny

    You will need the laboratory equivalent of the machine that goes 'ping'.

    I suggest the machine that goes zap, or the machine that goes boom.
    Get both if you budget runs to that.

      I suggest the machine that goes zap, or the machine that goes boom. You mean a laptop with a Sony battery?
