SYNOPSIS:

In  electrical, electronic and instrumentation industries, engineering
professionals perform tests and measurements for quality assurance and
performance evaluation to comply with Australian Standards. They  need
to   acquire  basic  knowledge  and  skills  in  electrical   analogue
measurement techniques and familiarisation with Australian Standards.

Topics  in  this  unit deal with practical aspects of  using  analogue
measuring  instruments  and test equipment, and analytical  techniques
for performance evaluation of components, devices and circuits.

OBJECTIVES:

Successful completion of this unit should enable the student
to :

1. test electrical materials, components and circuits; and
   
2. analyse the circuit performance and test measurements.
