my manager has determined that we are essential
started working remotely today.
in order to reduce contact and satisfy social distancing, only two of us may be in the office at any one time,
and we're not supposed to be in the same section of the building.
this can work because our branch of the giant multi-national consists of 6 people.
we're supposed to wipe down anything we touch.
the thing that's still missing for me is access to the company server
so that puts a crimp in getting things done at home.
as engineers, most of the computer stuff can be done at home, if one has an appropriate computer and access to the software.
but very few of us have the equipment at home to test real circuits. I certainly don't.
so we have to be in the office at some point.
regarding the bench supply voltage, it is always a good practice to turn the voltage to zero before turning the
power supply off. primary result is that when you turn the supply on, nothing gets fried from the jump up
in voltage/current. its like turning your stereo on and off - turn the volume down first.
side issue: use copper/brass/bronze for all things one usually touches - doorknobs, faucets, banisters, etc.
i have no connection to the copper industry
