1) Introduction

My main goal: survive

2) Equipments and materials

Digital multimeter PR-75

Type: Portable digital multimeter. The PR-75 is a general-purpose handheld digital multimeter designed for basic electrical measurement tasks in electronics and electrical work

Main features:

DC / AC Voltage Measurement up to 600V, Resistance Measurement (Ω), Continuity Test with Buzzer, Diode Test, Current Measurement (mA and 10A), Digital LCD Display, Manual Range Selector

Practical use:

Verify power supply (3.3V and 5V), check continuity between traces, and rule out short circuits before taking measurements with an oscilloscope

Digital oscilloscope (GW Instek GDS-1152A)

Type: Two-channel digital oscilloscope (150 MHz, 2-channel model) for electronics labs. It captures and stores waveform data, letting you view, measure, and analyze electronic signals visually

Main features:

2 channels (CH1 and CH2), autoset function (for quick signal adjustment), VOLTS/DIV and TIME/DIV controls, trigger system (for signal stabilization), waveforms and measuring values such as voltage and frequency

Practical use:

Verify signals over time (for example, a square wave or a PWM signal), test: microcontroller's output pin, digital signal (square wave), microcontroller code and pins
