IDL-800 DIGITAL LAB

Probador lgico
El principal propsito de este evaluador de circuitos es proveer convenientemente a los usuarios de
una fuente de CD, un generador de funciones, un vltmetro digital, un arreglo 8 bits de LEDs, dos
displays de 7 segmentos y switches lgicos, todo en el mismo aparato. Permite tambin crear una
interface entre ste equipo e instrumentos perifricos a travs de los adaptadores tipo banana y
BNC que trae integrados.
