Minimum Test Bench Equipment

[Garey Barrell]

Neil -

OK.  And how do you check for the presence of voltage?  With
a wet finger, or just short the terminal with the
screwdriver and gauge by the size of the spark?  :-)

I'd like to have a VOM in addition to your two items.

I agree with the concept though.  We always said at NASA in
the 60's that you could tell the good techs/engineers.  They
were the ones with the  _least_  test equipment stacked
around their bench.   All the test equipment in the world
isn't going to help if you can't interpret the test results.
