- Well done you have now reached TestGear Disk 5.
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- I have assumed (one must NEVER make assumptions) that you have progressed
- through TestGear Disk 1 (TestGear1.lha and TestGear1.readme), also
- through TestGear Disk 2 (TestGear2.lha and TestGear2.readme), also
- through TestGear Disk 3 (TestGear3.lha and TestGear3.readme), also
- through TestGear Disk 4 (TestGear4?.lha and TestGear4?.readme), I now
- expect that you have built projects (1) to (12) inclusive and that you
- are now ready for the next series of projects.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Important Information:-
- -----------------------
-
- The A-D Converter from ~TestGear2.lha~, ~Project6~ on Aminet WILL be
- required for some of the projects in this drawer. If you just want
- to try the software out but NOT build the hardware then READ the ~Info~
- file in the relevant ~Project?~ drawer.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- WARNING.
- --------
-
- 1) DISCONNECT any faulty equipment under test from the MAINS supply.
- 2) If a DC supply is used do NOT reverse polarity the connections.
- 3) Do NOT power up any electronic item until it is safe to do so.
- 4) CHECK and RECHECK all of your construction and repair work thoroughly.
- 5) Handle ALL tools used with care.
- 6) Beware of ALL types of solvents, glues and etching fluids.
- 7) NEVER leave a soldering iron switched on unattended.
- 8) KEEP everything OUT of the reach of small children.
- 9) Switch OFF the AMIGA before connecting any hardware.
- 10) And finally read 1) to 9) again.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you try any of the software that requires the Analogue to Digital
- Converter without the Analogue to Digital Converter connected the system
- should NOT crash, however the display will always read a maximum value
- for that particular piece of software giving you an idea of the
- capabilities of that software. Enjoy constructing your projects.

-
- Calibration Equipment:-
- -----------------------
-
- To calibrate most of the projects you WILL require some dry cells or
- batteries. I decided on using the ~EVEREADY~ RED types as these are
- well known in the UK. They were all NEW, as this gives a definitive
- starting point to work from. However any ZINC/CHLORIDE types should be OK.
- Alkaline batteries were NOT used to calibrate any projects.
-
- 1) R6.............. 1.5 Volt nominal, RED body type, (ULTRA PLUS).
- 2) 6F22............ 9 Volts nominal, RED body type, (ULTRA PLUS).
