Texture Technologies offers a wide variety of training opportunities to its clients. Training is available for texture measurement principals, sample handling protocols, standard industry methods, instrument controls, and our Expert, Exceed and Exponent software programs. TTC also consults with its clients on techniques to optimize their test methods for issues of specific concern.
The courses can be held at the client's offices or labs, at various hotel/seminar facilities around the country, or at Texture Technologies offices. Every training course has an agenda which is customized to each client's training requirements.
Texture Technologies also periodically teaches the American Association of Cereal Chemists' Industrial Texture Measurement short course, which was last held in Philadelphia, PA.

The course will quickly move beyond test & probe selection,and will delve deeply into :
- Designing Macros to automate routine procedures, automate analysis and actually run tests.
- Creating Projects to establish consistent procedures among many different operators and test protocols.
- Use Variables in Macros and Test Sequences to simplify calculations and to statistically analyze data
- Discuss why & how to use Basic scripts
- Instruct how to create and calibrate other data channel such as temperature, humidty voltage, etc and how to plot and analyse those other channels
- Introduce the fundamentals of integrating the TA.XTPlus with robotics
- Chapter 21 Part 11 software features and methods
The course will also include a review of application studies, test methods suitable for attendee products, and detailed calibration & verification methods.
By the conclusion of the two-day course participants will be familiar enough with the advanced features of the Exponent software so that they will be able to establish Projects for managing multiple users, data management, and test methods.
Participants will get a full set of application studies, a Calibration & Verification manual, a CD with PDF formatted application studies, and the most recent published papers abstract files.
