Synopses & Reviews
This workbook demonstrates how to troubleshoot faulty circuits using MultiSIM™ as the standard tool. Working on the computer, readers will learn to make measurements, replace components, and test results using the same processes and techniques that would be used in an actual hardware lab. Each section features circuits with installed faults that provide users with realistic troubleshooting practice. This highly engaging approach quickly builds the skill and confidence levels necessary to do live circuit troubleshooting in real-world situations. Using MultiSIM: Troubleshooting DC/AC Circuits,2E effectively supplements any standard DC/AC text, yet can also be used as a stand-alone guide for fostering a thorough understanding of basic circuit fundamentals.
Synopsis
This reader-friendly text covers all the subjects a student or technician-in-training needs to learn in order to have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of electronics. It makes learning theories and principles easy, preparing the way for more advanced training. Lots of full color photographs, diagrams and charts help clarify and reinforce topics, while end-of-chapter Formulas Summaries and Sample Calculator Sequence provide excellent learning aids and reference materials. Combined with the Laboratory Projects Manual, this textbook quickly transforms into a complete, integrated teaching/learning system that allows for hands on application of concepts.
