Equipment

Readers may expect, and require, a list of all the equipment used in a test. This list includes the equipment's name, as well as the equipment's number. Listing your equipment ensures that you use the same piece of equipment throughout a test. Check with your instructor to determine whether or not this information should be included under its own heading or with Procedures/Methodology.
