Duration: 1-3 Days, 8 hours each
Cost: $450 Per Day, or $1200 All Three Days
The latest and most advanced
AE software running on
PAC's current-generation equipment is the PACwin Software Suite, which is comprised of
AEwin,
AEwinPost and NOESIS. These programs have very extensive capabilities. Many
AE users do not have the opportunity to discover all these in the course of their ordinary work.
Through the added focus available in a dedicated training course, you will be able to efficiently enhance your user skills on these programs. These three days of training will cover both the more traditional but comprehensively re-packaged functionality of
AEwin, and the advanced pattern recognition and classification capabilities of NOESIS.
This course also provides the opportunity to learn more about
AE techniques in general: these will be discussed as they come up in the context of software operation. For example, the available software features for improving source location accuracy will bring up discussion of wave propagation. The availability of partial powers will bring up discussion of frequency analysis and its practical applications. The availability of calculated features in NOESIS will bring up modern techniques for separating legitimate
AE from noise.
