Screen Grabs of the Griffin Electrical Power Emulation - in use.

This is another typical emulation with a Dynamic Schematic. The user controls the emulation via the pull-down menu's and control panel. Action/reaction. As user interacts with the control panel etc, the indicators, warnings and schematic reacts as per the real equipment.

• Objects 'work' like the real thing. Click on a switch and it moves, displays illuminate etc.
• Flow objects show source and destination of electrical power. User 'visualizes' the complete system.
• Further emulations use flow objects to represent Data, Hydraulics, Fuel etc.
• User learns far more by 'doing'. Typically 10% - Reading, 20% - Listening, 90% - Carrying out the task (or emulation)
• Stimulate students, encourage experimentation with the system (safely), excellent for procedural training.
