Course OV100-UNX

Overview

OV100-UNX 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 Solaris/Unix environment.
