Information, data
& tools in EDG
Information and data
- Catalogues & CD ROMS - electronic
component suppliers, test equipment manufacturers & databooks
- Guidance can be given on purchasing
components and equipment.
Development and production tools

Advice
- Noise in experimental readings
- Improving throughput of research areas
eg. interfacing
existing (home built & commercial) equipment to PCs with RS232
& GPIB, CAN etc.
- Data acquisition
- Valve equipment
- Subcontracting companies
