Testing Crystal Oscillator
A Crystal and location marking
Its simple on how to test a crystal with a tester or checker. Crystal
oscillators are used to generate precise, stable radio frequencies and are
found in a wide variety of electronic equipment such as Computers
(motherboard and monitor), Television, Telecommunications systems
(mobile phone), and etc. The function is to keep the frequency of the
clock from drifting. If the signal from this clock stops producing
frequency, or is weak, or the pulses begin to vary or change, the
electronic equipments might show intermittent problems or might stop
altogether.
