Course description
This training course is designed for engineers and technicians from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds and will provide an excellent introduction and hands-on experience in installation, calibration, commissioning and maintenance of electronic instruments. The training course is initiated with coverage of the basics on electrical measurements and some tips and tricks. Instrument performance and calibration principles are then covered with rules for calibrating transmitters. The procedures for calibrating and installing smart transmitters are covered. The course is then finalized with a discussion on integration of the entire system and testing and commissioning procedures for instruments detailed.
