So after working in electronics for 19 years (10 years US Navy Comms/Radar ET) and then 9 years now as a civilian (Medical field service; MRI, PET, CT, Linear particle accelerators) I am finally at a point where I can set up a home lab as I'm not in a big grey tin can or in field service anymore and always on the road. I have acquired a Rigol DS1054Z, Agilent E3610A, EEVBlog multimeter, a GW Instek GDM-8251A, a Rigol DG1022, and I have a fluke 115 I use around the house for home repairs. I am also building my own bench supply. This got me to thinking; how do I verify that all the used equipment is good? I began looking around at decade resistors, capacitors, inductors, voltage standards, etc.. and there are a ton on the market and I assume this would be the best budget way to verify accuracy. I was hoping for some recommendations on which are of a high enough quality for hobby use and in the under $100 range. I also have never had to test my own equipment. So I am wondering what tests/calibrations I need to perform to ensure that all this equipment is accurate (enough) for home/hobby use. Thank you.
Oh and I picked up a Hakko fx-888d to boot. It's nothing like the solder rework station I had in the Navy but it'll get the job done. I saw in a video that Dave said the clone FG-100 temperature testers worked well. Anyone have any experience with these?
