Electronics Lab

What is all that stuff? Is this NASA or something?
I maintain a well-equipped electronics lab at my house. I use this for both work and hobby activities. I enjoy working with both analog and digital electronics. My focus in recent years has been microcontroller projects and embedded systems. I also have a strong interest in metrology (different from meteorology), or the science of measurement, and I have some equipment here for that purpose as well.
Metrology equipment:
- Leeds & Northrup K-5 potentiometer
- GenRad 1632A inductance bridge
- GenRad 1615A capacitance bridge
- Leeds & Northrup 4232 guarded wheatstone bridge
- ESI 701 precision capacitance measuring system
- Leeds & Northrup 4210 resistance standard (Thomas One-Ohm)
- Leeds & Northrup 9838 guarded nanovolt detector
- Fluke 732A DC reference standard
- Fluke 335D DC voltage standard
- Fluke 540B thermal transfer standard
- Fluke 845AR null detector
- Dytronix 311 primary phase angle standard
- Fluke 8506A metrology-grade multimeter
General test and development equipment:
- Tektronix TDS3012 "digital phosphor" oscilloscope
- HP 54111D digital oscilloscope
- Tektronix 2465A oscilloscope
- Tektronix TLA510 logic analyzer
- HP VXI frame hosting various computer-controlled instruments
- HP 141T spectrum analyzer (it's ancient, but it kicks butt!)
- HP 8901B modulation analyzer
- HP 8505A RF network analyzer
- HP 334A distortion analyzer
- HP 3468B digital multimeter
- HP 3455A digital voltmeter
- HP 437B RF power meter
- HP 8660C synthesized signal generator
- HP 3325A synthesized function generator
- HP 5385A frequency counter
- Data I/O UniSite device programmer
