The system comprising the following:

• UniTrain

The UniTrain-I system is a computer-based training and experimentation system for vocational and further
training and education in the areas of basic and advanced electrical engineering and electronics. Its multimedia
courses combine cognitive and hands-on (haptic) training units into a comprehensive unified concept,
specifically enabling students to acquire skills in the handling of equipment. Starting with basic courses and
advancing to cover a huge variety of electrical engineering and electronics topics, a wide range of multimedia
courses is available for study in school or in professional and advanced training courses. The UniTrain-I system
is completely self-contained and can be used anywhere at any time. The multimedia learning environment the
system provides high degrees of motivation, and maximum learning effectiveness in laboratories, at work or at
home. It thus becomes a guarantor for effective and efficient study. Access to the multimedia courses and control
of virtual instruments and experiment hardware is provided by LabSoft, the system’s open experiment platform.
The courses teach the theoretical building blocks and provide experiments to be carried out using the coursespecific experiment hardware. The intelligent measurement interface supplies the analog and digital measuring
and control I/O and represents, in combination with the system’s virtual instruments, a high quality item of
laboratory equipment. In addition, students’ progress can be monitored and electronically documented on the
basis of fault finding experiments with faults simulated by the hardware as well as tests of knowledge. The
electrical and electronic circuits needed for the experiments are connected to the system with the aid of an
Experimenter module.
