Texture Analyzers, Texture Analysis, and Texture Measurement Instruments
Support: Regional Training Courses
UPCOMING TRAINING COURSES:
- June 19-21st in Atlanta, Georgia (Hilton Garden Inn - Atlanta NW/Kennesaw Town Center, 895 Cobb Place Blvd NW, Kennesaw, GA | Hotel Tel: 678-322-1140)
- November 12, 13, 14th in San Francisco, CA (Hilton Garden Inn, 670 Gateway Blvd, South San Francisco, CA | Hotel Tel: 650-872-1515)
The three-day course covers a deep set of issues and has proven to be very helpful for both new and experienced users. A detailed description of the course agenda is posted on our web site's TTC Training Course Schedule page. The course is extremely hands-on. Attendees are encouraged to bring laptop computers so that they can learn and apply the principals more quickly and so that they can easily share the knowledge with others back in their own facilities.
The cost of the three day session is $525 and and includes all training materials, continental breakfasts and lunches for each of the three days. Reservations for the training course should be made as soon as possible by calling our NY office at 914-472-0531, or by contacting training@texturetechnologies.com.
Interested parties may also contact any of our regional managers to reserve a seat for the course.
General Information on Texture Technologies Training Courses
TTC periodically hosts open seminars to provide all of its Texture Analyzer clients the opportunity to immerse themselves in advanced training sessions and quickly master our instruments. Our most recent training courses covered the following topics. Please ask your regional representative when TTC will be in your area for similar workshops.
Effective Test Measurement and Analytical Principles
This course begins with a brief overview of Texture Measurement principles, such as: test selection, probe selection, sample handling, product geometry, managing sample variability, and file/data management.
- Design and use MACROS to automate analysis
- Design and use PROJECTS to automate testing
- Develop clear goals for texture testing
- Establish test settings
- Statistically analyze data
- Use every software feature and pull-down menus
- Read texture graphs
The primary focus of the course is to teach the participants how to:
A major component of the course is hands on software training. Participants are encouraged to bring laptop computers to use during several practicum sessions.
- TTC and SMS application studies
- Software help menus
- Published paper abstracts (~ 1200+ papers)
- Calibration & verification methods
- How to automate tests with software
The course will also include a review of:
By the conclusion of the three-day course, participants are familiar enough with the software so that they will be able to develop effective test methods and analyze the data for virtually any product. Participants receive 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.
Advanced Plus – Exponent Software
- Designing Macros to automate routine procedures, analyses 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, humidity voltage, etc. and how to plot and analyze those other channels
- Introduce the fundamentals of integrating the TA.XTPlus with robotics
- Chapter 21 Part 11 software features and methods
The course quickly moves beyond test and probe selection and delves deeply into:
The course also includes 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 are familiar enough with the advanced features of the Exponent software that they can establish Projects for managing multiple users, data management, and test methods. Participants receive 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.
