Basic Electronic Troubleshooting for Biomedical Technicians
A majority of texts available for teaching electronic troubleshooting are based heavily on theory and complex formulas that are not required or desired in a hands-on teaching approach. In contrast, this book enables technicians to understand electronic repair problems without introducing high-level engineering formulas. This objective is accomplished by presenting applications-oriented problem-solving techniques along with pictorial representations that replace complicated theory-oriented and equation-intensive learning processes.
