Self-Guided Learning: Automet FAB

Welcome to the automet® FAB Training Path

This area of the Wiki allows you to get to grips with automet through a designated, structured path.

Looking at a full technical guide can be overwhelming when you are just starting out. We have curated this journey for those who want to be guided from the basics of hardware setup through to advanced data analysis.

Why use this path?

• Efficiency: Skip the trial and error phase
• Confidence: Use the built-in self-checks and quizzes to ensure you are ready for the field.
• Structure: Go from a box of equipment to a completed survey report in five logical steps.

Training Path Overview

Step	Module	Key Learning Outcome
1	Getting Started	Hardware setup, licensing, and laptop connection.
2	Design Input	Creating .DES files manually or via IDF/PCF import.
3	Survey Setup	Positioning the instrument and preparing the spool.
4	Execution	Capturing flanges, supports, and pipe ends.
5	Analysis	Interpreting results and performing "what-if" scenarios.
