Standard equipment as well as custom instrumentation measurement circuitry
The custom measurement circuitry shown here is an AC current integrator circuit instrumented with a Linear Technology 24 bit High Speed Delta Sigma Analog to Digital converter
The measurement noise floor was less than 4 ppm, so very precise measurements were possible.
Benchtop Milling Machine, Drill Press, Band Saw, Power Miter, and Dremel Moto-tool
are used for fabricating proof of concept and breadboard mechanical components and packaging
