The trainers are implemented on NI modular myRIO platforms. Specialized control software is implemented in LabVIEW graphical programming language.
The power trainers are based not on a blackbox, but on an open platform which allows to understand the microprocessor based functionality and modify it as per the need
Open platform approach gives as well flexibility to create custom labs The power trainers can be used in combination with other trainers of Power Labs Ecosystem™ The software of the power trainers provides interactive monitoring and control over any modeled processes and simulated
in hardware emergencies, which makes students be fully involved in the lab experiment process from assembling of the lab up to recording of final results
