Optional Laboratory Experiments

Measurements Trainer

Course #: XK-100
Duration: 0 hours
What Students Learn: The XK-100 Measurements Trainer is a completely assembled, line-operated trainer designed for conducting hands-on experiments on basic electrical and electronic components and circuits. The trainer includes a basic meter with scales calibrated in ohms, milliamps, and AC and DC volts. In addition to a variable low-voltage power supply, the unit also contains a variable bias-voltage supply. For ease in setting up experiments, the Trainer has a general-purpose solderless connector block. A speaker produces an audible output for working with audio frequency. A variable audio-frequency generator in the Trainer can be used to test reactive components and make resonant frequency measurements.
An XK-100 Operations and Test Manual (XK141) is furnished with each trainer. This manual provides a complete description of the Trainer's controls and output functions.
In addition to AC and DC measurements, the Trainer can be used to illustrate how voltmeters and ammeters function, and how basic meter movements are connected to furnish different ranges. After completion of the course, the XK-100 can be converted into a functional Voltohmeter, with the addition of a low-cost kit.
Individual experiment Parts Kits are required for each block of experiments. Trainers with their related Workbooks and Parts Kits, are available, on an optional basis, to support the following courseware:

Digital Trainer

Course #: XK-200
Duration: 0 hours
What Students Learn: The XK-200 Digital Trainer is a completely assembled, battery-operated trainer, designed for conducting hands-on experiments on linear, pulse, digital, and logic circuits. The Trainer includes a self-contained dual-frequency clock generator, LED logic indicators, logic switches, and data switches, all of which are accessed by solderless connectors and jumpers. Also included is a general-purpose solderless connector block used for setting up and running experimental circuits. The Trainer accommodates both discrete components and DIP ICs and related devices. Operation of the Trainer requires four D-cell batteries (not supplied).

Individual experiment Parts Kits are required for each block of experiments. The Trainer may be used later for building and checking out prototype circuits. Trainers, with their related Workbooks and Parts Kits, are available, on an optional basis, to support the following courseware:
