Electronics for Calibrators (EL100)

Electronics measurements are fundamental to modern calibration, yet many calibration technicians receive little formal training in the electrical principles behind the instruments they calibrate every day.

Electronics for Calibrators (EL100) was developed specifically for calibration technicians, metrology professionals, and instrument technicians who need a practical understanding of electronics as they apply to real-world calibration activities.

Rather than approaching electronics from an engineering or design perspective, this course focuses on the concepts technicians encounter at the bench and in the laboratory. Topics include voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's Law, circuit behavior, industrial signal loops, transducers, oscilloscopes, process instrumentation, and multifunction calibration systems.

Throughout the course, learners are introduced to the theory behind electrical measurements while continuously connecting those concepts to practical calibration workflows and troubleshooting situations commonly encountered in calibration laboratories and industrial environments.

Topics covered include:

• Electrical units and measurements
• Voltage, current, and resistance
• Ohm's Law and circuit fundamentals
• Kirchhoff's Current and Voltage Laws
• 4–20 mA loops and industrial instrumentation
• Wheatstone bridges and transducers
• Oscilloscope fundamentals and signal interpretation
• Source versus measure techniques
• Process calibrator applications
• Multifunction calibrator operation and setup fundamentals
• Troubleshooting and best practices for electrical measurements

This self-paced SCORM course combines legacy instructional content with updated learning interactions, knowledge checks, and practical reinforcement designed to improve retention and connect theory to technician workflows.

Whether you are entering electronics calibration for the first time or looking to strengthen your understanding of the measurements behind your daily work, EL100 provides a practical foundation that can be immediately applied in calibration laboratories, manufacturing environments, and industrial facilities.
