They read diagrams and locate components, test points and adjustments. By recording voltages, they discover how circuits work. Their "fingerprint tables" pinpoint variables, essential for troublehooting.<p> The Mimic contains digital logic gates, comparitors, inverters, potentiomenter, switches, phototransistors and LEDs. Faults are introduced using swithes. <p> Electronics training or experience is not needed. Its a learn-by-doing course with no arithmetic and very little reading. <p> <center> <A href="TTT.htm#circuits">Circuits and Chips</A> <p></center> <hr noshade> <center> <H2>MECHATRONICS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES </H2> </center> Mechatronics is new terminology that describes courses now being offered by community colleges to develop skills in troubleshooting and innovotion in technical and scientific occupations.<p> The Learning Shop is now offering a mechatronics series including: "MICROCONTROLLER-BASED SYSTEMS,<br> CIRCUITS AND CHIPS and<br>"PERMAFIX" a root-cause analysis program.<p> This course provides these three vital courses to colleges and industry at a special package price.<p> Click the link below for details.<p> <center> <P><A href="Mechatronics.htm"></P> <DT>Mechatronics for community colleges </A><BR><BR><A <hr noshade> <P></P></H2><A name="about this course"></A></DT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> </center> <P> <CENTER><SMALL>(c) Copyright 2011 <A href="http://www.troubleshootingcourse.com/">troubleshootingcourse.com</A></SMALL></CENTER> <P></P> <CENTER><IMG src="image20.gif"><br> <font color=000000><br> phone: 847 729 4550<br> E Mail: bobfrye@troubleshootingcourse.com<br> </font color=000000> </center><br> <!-- www.hitslink.com/ web tools statistics hit counter code --> <SCRIPT language=javascript> var data,nhp,ntz,rf,sr;document.cookie='__support_check=1';nhp='http'; rf=document.referrer;sr=document.location.search; if(top.document.location==document.referrer || (document.referrer == '' && top.document.location != '')) {rf=top.document.referrer;sr=top.document.location.search} ntz=new Date();if((location.href.substr(0,6)=='https:') || (location.href.substr(0,6)=='HTTPS:'))nhp='https'; data='&an='+escape(navigator.appName)+ '&ck='+document.cookie.length+ '&rf='+escape(rf)+ '&sl='+escape(navigator.systemLanguage)+ '&av='+escape(navigator.appVersion)+ '&l='+escape(navigator.language)+ '&pf='+escape(navigator.platform)+ '&pg='+escape(location.pathname); if(navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1)>'3') {data=data+'&cd='+ screen.colorDepth+'&rs='+escape(screen.width+ ' x '+screen.height)+ '&tz='+ntz.getTimezoneOffset()+'&je='+ navigator.javaEnabled()}; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 '+ 'vspace=0 width=1 height=1 src="'+nhp+'://counter.hitslink.com/'+ 'statistics.asp?v=1&s=3&acct=328268420'+data+'">');</SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language=javascript1.2>document.write('<'); document.write('!-- ');</SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT><IMG border=0 hspace=0 src="http://counter.hitslink.com/stats-ns.asp?acct=328268420&amp;v=1&amp;s=3" width=1 height=1> </NOSCRIPT><!--//--><!-- End www.hitslink.com/ statistics web tools hit counter code --></BODY></HTML>
