Made to Measure
Test equipment is used to monitor the performance of electrical systems, devices and circuits, and to capture data from external environmental sources. Products can range from handheld devices such as data loggers and analogue or digital multimeters to bench-top oscilloscopes and function generators. Test equipment is essential in precision measurement, process control and plant maintenance work, and for electrical professionals when measuring voltage, current and resistance, and troubleshooting problems in industrial and domestic appliances.
Electronic test equipment is essential for any serious work by engineers, electricians and plant maintenance technicians. Data logging products are also widely used in primary and secondary schools as an integral part of the Science curriculum. Weather stations and traffic control systems are examples of everyday data logging. Data can be recorded in real time, continuously or at regular intervals over long time periods. The information collected can be sent to a computer and displayed, analysed and stored using bespoke software.
Among the major brands of test equipment available at Rapid are products by Thurlby Thandar, GW Instek, Velleman, Owon, LogIT, Lascar and Fluke, including the 170 and 189 series of digital multimeters.
