TELEMETRY SYSTEMS TRAINING PROGRAMS: THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / In today's world, the importance of training for telemetry systems continues to grow as
new technologies provide users with ever-increasing capabilities. Successful training
programs ensure telemetry systems quickly become operational yielding the acquisition
of critical test data.
Over the years, training programs have been greatly impacted by the changes in defense
contracts -- specifically funding. Today's aggressive telemetry market requires
contractors to develop complex telemetry systems within the constraints of Firm Fixed
price (FFP) contracts and within very short schedules. As a result of these conditions,
training programs have changed significantly over the last ten years. Projects which used
to have dedicated training personnel (instructors, technical writers, etc.) now rely on the
system developers to provide the training. In actuality, the quality of training has
improved with this new approach. Now students benefit from having the most
knowledgeable personnel teach them about the system and, often times, latent problems
with the system are efficiently identified and corrected.
This paper will summarize the evolution of training programs for telemetry systems
developed by Computer Sciences Corporation. The benefits of a scenario where the
system architects train the end users with the use of increased "hands-on" training will be
explored.
