Note: Due to recent changes in the Ovation Windows applications, we will be offering separate OV100-WIN courses for Ovation 3.x and Ovation 2.x users. As the courses are scheduled simultaneously, please be sure that you enroll in the proper system-level class.
Duration
Five Days
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Description
OV100-WIN provides experience using an Ovation Data Acquisition System (DAS). Ovation terminology and proper use of Ovation documentation are discussed. Students are introduced to the major components of the system and practice using Ovation tools that are designed to make data acquisition easy. Exercises include modifying and building database point records for analog and digital points. Students physically connect various field devices to the I/O and test the signals. Basic techniques for troubleshooting data acquisition hardware and software are also included in the course. This course is intended for anyone
who will need to work with the DAS of the Ovation system in a Windows
environment.
