feel” of the software

• A “ghost procedure writer” shows how to use
some of the more complex procedure statements

• An online procedure development manual with
examples of the basic FSC use

• Book marking allows you to return to a page if
you must exit and start again

• Periodic examinations to show learning progress

• If the course is completed successfully, you can

print a completion certificate

Advantages of computer-based training

Computer-based training (CBT) provides you with
a cost-efficient and convenient way to learn the
basic use of the MET/CAL Editor to write automated
procedures. You may use the CBT to supplement
instructor-led courses or gain an overview of the
features of the basic FSCs. This dynamic, interactive
CBT provides you with the training you need when
you need it.

• Better class training and preparation. Get a jump
start on your MET/CAL classroom training.

• An ongoing reference guide. The CBT is an
excellent reference that you can turn to if you
need a refresher on writing a procedure.

• Choose the learning pace that is right for you.
Screens with a familiar web browser interface
lead you through 16 exercises and two progress
exams to test your knowledge.

A CD that shows
you how to use the
MET/CAL

®

Editor to
develop a proce­dure using Function
Selection Codes

This interactive self-paced
course uses simulation of
the MET/CAL Editor func­tion to explain the use of the
most basic, frequently used
Function Selection Codes
(FSC) to write an automated
MET/CAL procedure.

Course outline

Exercise 1: Traceability

• Learn how MET/CAL procedures ensure the
traceability required by quality standards

Exercise 2: FSC and the ASK flags

• Explains how an FSC works

• Shows procedure control using the basic ASK

flags

Exercise 3: UUT tolerance

• How to assign a Unit Under Test (UUT) tolerance
specification to a procedure line

• Explains the use of the TOL FSC

Exercise 4: Using the MOD 4 field

• How to use MOD 4 to do setup tests

• How to use MOD 4 to do nominal and compari-

son tests

Exercise 5: Using the DISP FSC

• How to use the DISP FSC to give instruction to
the operator

• Using the ASK -P flag to control the repeat and
cancel buttons

• How to use the DISP FSC to write to the results
file

Exercise 6: Using the memory registers

• Explains how the memory registers work

• How to use the MEMI FSC

Exercise 7: The EVAL, JMPL, and Label FSCs

• How to use the operator evaluation FSC

• How to create a label and a jump to label

statement

Exercise 8: The OPBR and JMP(x) FSCs

• How to do internal branching on a procedure

• How the jump FSC works

Exercise 9: Using key MATH functions

• How to use some of the MATH functions to get
your results

Exercise 10: IF, ELSE, ELSEIF, ENDIF FSCs

• How to do conditional branching using IF, ELSE,
ELSEIF, and ENDIF

Exercise 11: The WAIT, DO, UNTIL, WHILE,
ENDW FSCs

• How to use the WAIT FSC to provide a delay

• Show examples of the DO, UNTIL, WHILE and

ENDW FSCs

Exercise 12: The MESS FSC

• How to use the MESS FSC to store later
messages

Exercise 13: The MEMC, MEMCX and IEEE FSCs

• How the MEMC and MEMCX FSCs perform
evaluations based on a comparison between
the UUT Indicated value and the System Actual
value

• Provides a basic understanding of how the IEEE
FSC works

Exercise 14: The STD and ACC FSCs
