Test and Measurement
Subscribe
Test and Measurement are critical for finding those issues within an electronic system design that prevent it from being fully functional.
Electronic components are also subject to a variety of tests that involve anything from physical inspection to product-level functional testing to verifying functionality in a network environment. However unglamorous as it is, Test & Measurement is an essential asset to the electronics design process.

@Boss would that work with the motor I have? Does it make a difference if it's a geared motor?
Thank you for your reply and suggestion btw!
