Training

New England Research has a full range of training services including remote, online and in-person. All trainings can be tailored to a client’s specific needs.

For each system, the training includes some or all of the elements listed below.

• Theory of operation of the system for measurements supported by the unit,
• Review of the operation of each module in the unit. Key aspects of the instruction cover
  1. Operation of key components in each module,
  2. Interaction between the components in each module,
  3. Defining the expectation for periodic maintenance of the equipment,
  4. Troubleshooting problems encountered during normal operation,
  5. Opening lines of communication with technical staff at NER to aid in solving any difficulties that are not easily resolved.
• Sample preparation,
• Setting up experiments including selecting the jacketing for tests to be performed at temperature and pressure,
• Instrumenting the sample specific measurements,
• Review the theory and expected performance of each device used in the test,
• Loading the sample assembly into the apparatus,
• Operating the system with AutoScan and Autolab software,
• Setting up an appropriate test protocol and carrying out and experiment,
• Reducing experimental data post-test,
• Critically evaluating experimental data,

Training can be scheduled

• During assembly of the apparatus at NER,
• At the completion of the installation at the client’s facility,
• After installation once the client.s technical staff gains experience with the apparatus and the software,
• During annual maintenance visits by NER’s staff,
• At NER, if that is more convenient for the client.
