Breadboard Instructions

DESIGN PHASE:       breadboarding
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   breadboard instructions
                    (engineering hours for breadboarding)
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEB]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:     REVISION DATE: 
APPLICABILITY:      all circuits (that are breadboarded)

ACTIVITY: Prepare breadboard instructions for technician,
monitor construction of breadboard, and help technician debug
breadboard when complete.

OUTPUT:

1. Schematic, parts list, and instructions for breadboarding
circuit.

2. Working breadboard circuit ready for experiments and
measurements.  (see HTB)

ALGORITHM:

[HEB] =             engineer hours to breadboard circuit
0.0+                set up time
0.0*                hours per part count
[PARTS COUNT]       circuit parts count
