PTI technical training

Electronic Trouble Shooting

Study diagnostic methods, electronic systems and troubleshooting techniques. Explore PTI's electronics troubleshooting course and training options.

Course Overview

Students will learn basic electronic concepts. Day 1 topics include current, voltage, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistor fundamentals. Students will be able to describe AC and DC power, digital and analog circuits, reverse and forward bias. Discuss CMOS, nMOS, pMOS and bipolar transistor types. Be able to discuss how to read a data sheet for electronic components.

Day 2 of this course presents a thorough overview of the theory of operation, use, and special applications of the Volt-Ohm-Meter, the Digital Multi-Meter and the Oscilloscope. On day 3, students will build bread board circuits and do hands on trouble shooting using multi-meters, oscilloscopes and signal generators. Class size is limited to 14 students due to the hands on training.
