Physics Electronics and Instrumentation Resources Page
This page contains links to a wide variety of information that will be useful to you for Physics 115, Physics 116, and Senior Project. Links to electronic versions of the users manuals and data sheets for the instruments, devices, and chips that we generally stock in Sequoia 140 are compiled here. They are generally in pdf format; if you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you must download it to use these documents. This page will be updated with new documents as we upgrade our equipment or use different devices.
