Hello all,
I have real difficulty imagining how I will connect my devices (such as resistors, transistors etc.) to external test equipment. For example I have to connect a microbolometer (which essentially is a resistor with a high temperature coefficient of resistance) to both a current source and a lock-in-amplifier. However I only have two connections to do so. How on earth do I connect my microbolometer to both my DC current source and lock-in amplifier?
Just to be clear I envisage on wire bonding from my resistor to a PCB and then interfacing the PCB with my external equipment via BNC PCB mount connectors (or something similar).
Also does anyone have a guide on how to understand circuit diagrams? When I look at one I find it hard to even know how to understand what is going on!
Thanks
