content: That is what normally would be my "permanent" lab at home. (A lot of equipment and supplies are currently in a temporary lab.) I'm evaluating the transient response of some digital filters on a MSP430. And believe it or not, the multimeter is measuring CPU load. I programmed the MSP430 to set a GPIO high in the ADC interrupt and return it to low in the idle loop. Then I just connect my multimeter to the GPIO and set it to measure duty cycle.

content: Quote from: Ronnie on July 08, 2011, 01:59:38 amBetter safe than sorry I always say. It's a shame however that sometimes, space is an issue with a lot of people (including me) so we must make do. I tend not to critique work area of other's because sometimes it just works for them. Like someone who is messy but knows where everything is!Ipman, your work area is beautiful! I love the rack and how you can keep all your tools above you when you need them. Do you coordinate the pliers and cutters by type or length or anything?
