Electronic test equipment Electronic test equipment An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the flow of electric current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes, hence the name. The word "ammeter" is commonly misspelled or mispronounced as "ampmeter" by some. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ammeter"
An ammeter shunt is a known low- resistance connection between two points in an electric circuit that forms an alternative path for a portion of the current. The voltage drop across the shunt is used in conjunction with an ammeter to measure current of a circuit. Commercially manufactured shunts are typically available in either 50 or 100 millivolts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ammeter shunt"
A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (once only) in which case some kind of triggering source is required (internal or external). The resulting waveforms can be injected into a device under test and analyzed as they progress through the device, confirming the proper operation of the device or pinpointing a fault in the device. ...more on Wikipedia about "Arbitrary waveform generator"
Automatic test equipment is any automated device that is used to test printed circuit boards, integrated circuits, or any other related electronic components or modules. See also electronic test equipment. ...more on Wikipedia about "Automatic test equipment"

A bus analyzer is a computer bus analyzation tool, often a combination of hardware and software, used during development of device drivers for a specific bus and for reverse engineering of devices by reading and interpreting bus traffic. It is essentially a logic analyzer with some additional knowledge of the underlying bus traffic characteristics. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bus analyzer"
A clamp meter (clamp-on ammeter) is a type of ammeter which measures electrical current without the need to disconnect the wiring through which the current is flowing. ...more on Wikipedia about "Clamp meter"
A comb generator is a signal generator that produces multiple harmonics of its input signal. The appearance of the output at the spectrum analyzer screen, resembling teeth of a comb, gave the device its name. ...more on Wikipedia about "Comb generator"
A dual beam oscilloscope is a type of oscilloscope used to compare one signal with another. In such cases, dual beam oscilloscopes are used. There are two beams produced in special type of CRT. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dual beam oscilloscope"
Electronic Load (E-Load) is a device that simulates loading on a electronic circuit. ...more on Wikipedia about "Electronic Load"
Electronic test equipment is used to create stimulus signals and capture responses from electronic Devices Under Test (DUTs). In this way, the proper operation of the DUT can be proven or faults in the device can be traced and repaired. ...more on Wikipedia about "Electronic test equipment"
Flutter Meter is a testing instrument for measuring flutter values. ...more on Wikipedia about "Flutter Meter"
A function generator is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. These waveforms can be either repetitive, or single-shot (once only) in which case some kind of triggering source is required (internal or external). The resultant waveforms can be injected into a device under test and analyzed as they progress through the device, confirming the proper operation of the device or pinpointing a fault in it. ...more on Wikipedia about "Function generator"
Jitter Meter is a testing instrument for measuring jitter values. It is a useful tool for manufacturing DVD/CD drives. ...more on Wikipedia about "Jitter Meter"
A logic analyzer displays signals in a digital circuit that are too fast to be observed by a human being. ...more on Wikipedia about "Logic analyzer"
A micramperimeter is an measuring instrument that detects metals in substances through the process of oxidation and reduction. ...more on Wikipedia about "Micramperimeter"
A multimeter is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several functions in one unit. The most basic instruments include an ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter. ...more on Wikipedia about "Multimeter"
A network analyzer is an instrument used to analyze the properties of electrical networks, especially those properties associated with reflection and transmission of electrical signals known as s-parameters. The network analyzer's main application is impedance matching in radio electronics so as to satisfy the maximum power theorem. ...more on Wikipedia about "Network analyzer (electrical)"
An Ohmmeter is an electrical measuring instrument that measures electrical resistance, the opposition to the flow of an electric current. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ohmmeter"
An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated CRO or scope) is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows voltage levels and signals to be viewed by creating a visible two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences. The horizontal axis of the display normally represents time, making the instrument useful for displaying periodic signals. The vertical axis usually shows voltage. ...more on Wikipedia about "Oscilloscope"
Pulse generators can either be internal circuits or pieces of electronic test equipment used to generate pulses (electronic impulses). These pulses can then be injected into a device under test and used as a stimulus or clock signal or analyzed as they progress through the device, confirming the proper operation of the device or pinpointing a fault in the device. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pulse generator"
