Master Successful Shock Measurements: Reduce Retest Risk

When accuracy is non-negotiable, you need methods backed by decades of industry experience. Join PCB for an exclusive three-day training, "Measuring Mechanical & Pyroshock," guided by the “Noisy Data” expert Dr. Ted Diehl. Dive into more than just lectures—experience hands-on case studies and collaborative problem-solving with PCB specialists. It is offered once a year, and seats are limited.

Why attend?

• Practical skills: Learn industry best practices for sensor selection, cabling considerations, DAQ setup, filtering and other signal processing, and SRS analysis — all supported by numerous practical examples, giving you the knowledge that you can apply in your lab
• Direct access to an industry expert: Bring your real project questions to Dr. Ted Diehl and get practical troubleshooting guidance tailored to your test scenarios
• Interactive Beam Shock Live Testing Experience: Join an instructor-led two-loop demo: watch flawed measurements, see corrective setup changes, and compare before-and-after results. Participate in live analysis and discussion to sharpen your measurement judgment
• Proven results: Learn the methods used by engineers in environmental test labs to improve test efficiency, minimize retest cycles, and support testing standards such as MIL-STD-810
• Better learning experience: Benefit from interactive lectures led by a practicing engineer with over 30 years of experience, enjoy group dinners for entertainment and discussion with peers, and join a guided tour of the PCB main facility to see manufacturing and test operations in action

Who is it for?

This training is designed for test personnel and their managers; design and analysis staff who use test measurements for model, component, and full-scale system verification; calibration laboratory staff; data reduction personnel; and, more generally, anyone whose work depends on the output from accelerometers for the measurement of severe mechanical shock and pyroshock.
