PHY4802L - LABORATORY ELECTRONICS - SPRING 2012


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 coming to class the day that the assignment is due. The schedule including the reading assignments might be adjusted during the semester. Please check this page occasionally for updates.

You will need to bring the UF lab manual to class.
