Ok, I'm a relatively new EE. I'm trying to figure out what are the most common models of basic tools that I need to establish a somewhat respectable practice of building stuff. i.e. prototypes and new products, inventor type stuff.
I currently want to upgrade my scope, signal generator and my dmm's, and I'm wondering what models people are using for the types of things that I will be doing: Pic MCU's, Audio processing and amplifiers, and Lighting displays. (Maybe a little MCU - USB as well)
What I have I basically acquired on ebay after reading recommendations from the student manual to horowitz, the art of electronics, it's all old school, and I want to replace it all with mid to professional range modern stuff, wondering what the technicians are using in FOR REAL ENV's:
upgrade to new mid-grade:
Simpson 260 (old school) I want something the same but current and that I can use for current
Fluke 37 bench multimeter
Beckman 9020 20Mhz 2 ch scope CRT
BK precision 3022 signal generator
Power supply (BK precision 30 v) - I want something with a ±20v minimum
Soldering Gun
upgrade to new higrade:
Hand tools: (brand and type recommendations) && (I would like the highest quality of these)
circuit board punch
resistor bender tool
workstation tools (clamp the circuit board, magnify as needed and what not)
Pro level screwdrivers and tweezers, pliers, etc...
also:
hand held DMM
Current detector clamp thing
and here's some symbols:
