Objectives
After completion of this course, each learner will have a good comprehensive understanding of the OMICRON test equipment hardware and the OMICRON Test Universe software. The testing of various kinds of measurement transducers and energy meters will be covered.
Software Session
The participants will be familiarised with the important aspects of the Test Universe software. Each learner will perform a number of tasks using the test software in the offline mode, i.e. with no CMC connected.
Practical session
The participants will have to apply the gained knowledge. Test stations with a test set each and a transducer and an energy meter are set up. The participants are divided into groups, which rotate through the different test stations performing several tasks at each station.
