PHY4802L - LABORATORY ELECTRONICS


The pages listed from the Lab are for the UF lab manual. You are expected to have completed the entire reading assigment (lab manual and text book) prior to comming to class the day that the assignment is due.

You will need to bring both the UF lab manual and the Horowitz and Hill manual to class. The UF manual often refers to a circuit diagram or lab from Horowitz and Hill.
