home lab oscilloscope

I used to have a very small Home LAB for work, but I don't have now. I have to purchase worktable and other necessary things, right now I don't have a proper place to work at home. I had a lab where I used to live before, now in this new home, I have to set up a new one in a seperate room.
As an example, this is Professor Mark Csekes Home LAB. I really like this lab of DSP professor.
How is your lab like? Do you think, you should have one? and why one should have?

how to have a home lab

Hi

Any Complete parts list?

tnx
 

What will you be placing in that home lab. I mean equipments, ICs, components, SMD,PTH ?
 

My lab is gonna b similar as shown above.

But more advanced.

I have Rs 1500000 (USD 35,740) to spend for it.
I will extend it in future.
:)
 

Do post your LAB pictures :D

Added after 17 minutes:

Cousin of mine works in the Research and Development for Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission. They has access to million dollar equipments at work and those guys could order any equipment or what so ever at the expense of government for their research work and have great facility for attending workshop at national and international location, but they have lower salary comparative to jobs at private sectors and have difficulties in leaving that organization.
I think there must be a laboratory like a library, where people can come and use instruments and which must be open 24 Hours and 7 days a week :D
 

my_books are u from india?
i am working in an institution. hence we have all the lab facilities available and no need for the home lab which we cannot afford
kindly give a closer view of the picture so that the arrangements can be made in our institution if it seems to be the best
 

my_books might be a hobbyist. The topic is about having the home lab.There are institution and research laboratories, where people go and do work outside there home day and night, but that's the different story.My dad used to have a huge Home Lab at Kuwait in 80s, having every major electronic instrument at that time, great hand made workshop table, cabinets, and other things. It feels like a having a Workshop and Home together :D
 

i have lab in home too !

it has all basic instruments , two pc , internet .

i will upload my lab picture here ! , as soon as
 

I prefer to do all my work at the company / varsity and have a nice place to chill at home, even if I stay at work until 10pm. Anyone like me?
 

I've got a home lab. I would not want to be without one.
I just love waking up late on Sundays, get up, walk to my home lab, and just start working on whatever project is sitting on the desk. Not even getting my pants on.

Sorry for that last comment. Maybe I shared too much.

Anyways, for me a home would not be a home if it did not contain a home lab. Period.


My lab is not overly stocked with eguipment, but I get by.

1x Fluke 79 multimeter
1x Home build lab supply, 30V/3A
1x Philips Fluke PM95 portable oscilloscope
1x Schneider Amplitude meter (from the early 80s)
1x Home build electronic load, 200W (400V/10A) (nearly finished, it needs a case and proper display readout facilities)
1x Soldering iron with temperature control

I'm currently looking into building a larger lab supply with more features. Target is around 60-80 volt 10 amps.

Cheers,

Hi

Very good question. This was my dream and I have worked on it for many years. When I graduated, I was very fascinated by microcontrollers (those days were using EPROM).

Now I have these Lab Instruments.

1) Weller fine tip soldering station WD80
2) Hakko desoldering station 470
3) HP 100 Mhz Oscilloscope
4) Leader 20Mhz Oscilloscope
5) Lodestar variable power supply 5X1Vdc and 0-30X2Vdc
3) HP 34401A Multimeter
4) Fluke 45 Multimeter
5) Escort Frequency generator 2Mhz sweep
6) Philips LCR meter
7) Other multimeters Fluke 187x2 Fluke 87X1

I am in process of setting up a Lab.

I am basically working on AVR, Xilinx CPLD and VB.

Thanks
 

Have a look on the part list attached, I think you will need it for you new home lab.

Good luck

Karim
