==Training Curriculum==


The Raptor Training course is designed to give an understanding of the Raptor Platform in an efficient, hands-on manner. We will start off in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, showing concepts of Raptor-Dev's integration and how to use model based design to your advantage. Once the project is built we will flash the compiled code to the module. Using Raptor-Cal, New Eagle's calibration tool, we will calibrate and test the system.

This block reads the value of an analog input. An analog input is typically a voltage input on an input pin to the module. This block outputs the raw analog to digital converter counts. The scaling factor to convert from counts to engineering units may be different for different inputs, sensors or modules. The Full ADC Count indicated on the block represents a guideline for the maximum expected ADC count based on the underlying hardware - values above this threshold may not correspond linearly to those within the range.

The Raptor-Dev platform contains many different blocks with a variety of functions, below are some common blocks used with the Raptor Training course.
 
===Override===

The Raptor override block is used to be able to override the value on a wire from the calibration tool. The block will normally pass the value at the input port to the output port. However when the override state is set to Override the block will output the value input from the calibration tool.

Raptor Training, created by our team of experienced controls engineers, provides hands-on experience which enables the new practitioner to gain familiarity with the toolchain by building, deploying, calibrating and refining a real-world control application.


Training Overview

Who should attend?

  • Control Systems Engineers
  • Application Engineers
  • Embedded Software Engineers
  • Technical Program Managers

What is covered?
The Raptor Training course is designed to give an understanding of the Raptor Platform in an efficient, hands-on manner. This is accomplished by providing a detailed run down of the way eMBD (Embedded Model Based Design) is designed, developed and implemented using the full Raptor Toolchain.

Why should I attend?
Led by an experienced user of the toolchain, Raptor Training will provide the knowledge required to create your own applications using the full potential of the Raptor Platform.

Where is it held?
Raptor Training comes in four formats:

  • 2-Day Training at New Eagle Headquarters - Ann Arbor, MI
  • On-Site Training at your location
  • 2-Day Remote Training online
  • Web-based video series

When is it?

  • In-house 2-day training sessions are conducted regularly and can be scheduled with our sales team
  • On-site training can be scheduled with our sales team
  • 2-Day remote training online sessions are conducted regularly and can be scheduled with our sales team
  • The web-based training can be accessed at any time


Training Curriculum

The Raptor Training course is designed to give an understanding of the Raptor Platform in an efficient, hands-on manner. We will start off in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, showing concepts of Raptor-Dev's integration and how to use model-based design to your advantage. Once the project is built, we will flash the compiled code onto the module. Using Raptor-Cal, New Eagle's calibration tool, we will calibrate and test the system.
