Hi ALL, Billy would you mind answering a couple of questions for me please.
1) what exactly does this company do?
2) what do they MAKE or REPAIR?
3) If your MANAGER is so clued up then why are you doing the trouble shooting and not him?
4) If your training, then why are they not training you?
What i really cant understand is if your company makes something or tests something and as it appears from your posts they are many many bad boards (perhaps your a repair shop that make sense), then the bit i really dont get is you have a FLUKE multi meter (££££) and yet the scopes you mention are all old??? i can see someone like Nigel having a old analogue scope on the bench because of its advantages to his work, but you dont seem to have the basic equipment to do the tests that you seem to need to do.
for example we are simple hobbyist's me and dad and yes we have a very well equipped lab for hobbyist's, but we are way better equipped it seems than a company who's job it is to repair stuff?????
5) why dosnt your company have a basic 5 1/2 digit bench multi meter??? you can get older ones pretty cheap, you use older scopes so why not say a old dacal multi meter?? that would trace a short no problem and is 4 leads meaning you can have very accurate milliohm readings. Infact our Dacal reads into the uOhm range.
6) if shorts are a big part of your job then surely they would have a TONEOHM?? you can find a short very very quickly with those and for a business i would say they are cheap.
Can you answer these please because otherwise i have to say your a
sorry to be rude but i ave outlined above some of the stuff that to me dosn't add up, i dont see how we have the equipment to do your JOB and yet your Company dosnt???
EDIT
DAD asked me to post this bit from here.....................................................................
If your company really was as half arsed as you say it is then it would have gone to the wall a long time ago, a company large enough to employ a trainee and have a manager DOES NOT WORK the way you are saying and stay in business long. Alot of the equipment you seem to need would have been picked up a long time ago. so yes you are a
