Since the company began in 1972, Nida Corporation has grown to
become a world leader in the development, design, and installation
of sophisticated electronics training systems. Born of the aerospace
industry, Nida initially was challenged to meet the expanding and
demanding requirements of military high-technology training. In the
early 1980's Nida was one of the first training development
Companies to offer all of our courseware in Computer Assisted
Instruction format. In the mid-nineties, Nida began providing
performance-based technical training in a distance education format,
linking training institutions with students in remote areas around
the globe. Today, Nida Corporation is the pacesetter for the field
of technical training. Nida training systems stand out as the first
choice of the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and
Coast Guard. Nida is dedicated to meet the constantly changing world
of advanced electronics training while remembering our roots by
providing the very best in fundamental electronics training
packages.
Learning Labs, Inc. is proud to represent Nida in the following

The
Model 130E electronics training program enhances understanding and
learning associated with electrical and electronics curriculums. It
is a complete training platform designed to accept all 130 Series
Experiment cards. In addition, the platform supports traditional
text based programs, computer managed programs, and all computer
assisted instruction programs. Features include:
-
Automatic Configuration will
configure the training platform to the correct mode of
operation; Stand alone, Computer Managed, or Computer Assisted
Instruction
-
Experiment Setup automatically
configures the training platform to the specific parameters
required for each hands-on training scenario.
-
Automatic Backup permits the
student to save the current settings when a break in training is
scheduled or a power or system failure occurs.
-
System Monitoring continuously
scans the training platform for serviceability an notifies the
user when the unit is not operating correctly.
The Nida Series 130 platform is
designed for a variety of instructional modes. These modes range
from the most basic to the most complex. The Model 130E Test Console
includes a pre-wired, AC/DC power supply system, an input-output
system, and in-circuit faulting system. The Test Console is designed
to reduce confusion and errors that may arise when interconnecting
test instruments. This Test Console accepts circuitry covering AC,
DC, Analog, Digital, Fiber Optics, Signal Processing,
Microprocessors, Microwave Transmission, Rotating Machinery, and
Synchro Servos. The total training system is a training package
consisting of courseware and hardware designed for individual
learning with applications in group or self-paced environments.

Industrial Maintenance: PLCs
The
Model 5050 uses an Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1200 to introduce the student to
the basic concepts of programmable logic controllers and explain why
the PLC has become a major component of today's automated
industries. Practical experiments provide hands-on troubleshooting
skills designed to isolate peripheral hardware failures.

Residential Wiring
The demand for quality residential
electricians is skyrocketing as communities expand to meet the
housing requirements of a growing nation. New construction and the
renovation of older homes require electricians with a solid
knowledge of electrical principles and the ability to perform
troubleshooting and repairs on increasingly more complex residential
circuitry. Today’s homes boast alarm systems, remotely controlled
circuits, intelligent appliances, pools, spas, and communications
systems. The Nida Residential Wiring Program is specifically
designed to prepare entry-level technicians to install, troubleshoot
and repair electrical circuits found in today’s residential
buildings. From understanding blueprints to wiring a Smart House
system, the Nida Residential Wiring Program takes the student
through the concepts and principles of power distribution, circuit
loading, illumination, wiring practices and safety.
