Equipment

The research activities of the CSRES Lab are supported by high quality equipment for a wide spectrum of applications in the electrical and electronic engineering area. More specifically, there are digital storage oscilloscopes with high sampling rate, spectrum analyzers, power quality analyzers, programmable function generators, high precision multimeters, an RLC measurement bridge, controlled power supplies, ground resistance meters, soldering / desoldering stations, as well as a PCB prototyping system. Additionally, microprocessor development systems for the main microprocessor families, a logic analyzer and a pattern generator, are also available in the laboratory. The computer support of the CSRES Lab consists of an adequate number of fully equipped PCs and peripherals, such as several high-resolution data-acquisition (DAQ) cards installed in PCs. All software necessary for the operation of the above units and for the development of new applications, is also available.
