ASL SERIES - VISUAL ATE APPLICATIONS - COURSE #0085

Course Length

5 Days

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the software, system operating environments, and seven of the available instrument cards. This is accomplished by a combination of lectures and lab exercises and online learning materials.

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: generate Test Functions, assemble Test Programs, debug test code, and understand the basic functions of the MUX, DVI, OVI, TMU, PV3, ACS, and DDD instruments.

Students must complete the online pre-course before attending the class. Login information for the online materials will be emailed upon confirmation of registration.
