Course Description

ActivePoint™ is an enhanced HMI designed and developed by User Experience (UX) teams to improve usability, accessibility, and ease of use in the interaction of operator and display. The ActivePoint™ HMI increases user efficiency, responsiveness, and awareness. It provides advanced features and intuitive visual coding, contextual data and the ability to determine the root cause of a critical event ‘at a glance’. It is designed with an enhanced alarm system, which provides features such as; Go to Display Screen, Alarm Help, and Go to Definition in Logic. ActivePoint™ Alarm Filtering and Viewing enhances usability and provides the user with a better understanding of the alarms.

This course will cover the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and interact with an ActivePoint™ HMI.

Access to a virtualized cloud hosted HMI with GT simulation will allow the student to apply course objectives hands-on following guided lab procedures.

This course is designed as a self-paced, web-based training curriculum. Narrated presentations, demonstration videos and guided lab exercises will be utilized as part of training. Exercises are provided to allow the student to assess their understanding of key concepts.
