This week CEI organized another session of\u00a0my Hands-On Characterization course in Dresden.\u00a0 A new group of enthousiastic engineers registered for the course.\u00a0 As could be expected the course is improving time after time.\u00a0 The feedback from the participants again was very positive, and that is a strong encouragement to continue in the same direction.\u00a0 This means further improvement of the course where necessary, and adding new measurement assignments to the course.\u00a0 New and additional equipment is already ordered to keep the course up to date !<\/p>\n
Almost all of the participants succeeded in finding\/measuring\/calculating the conversion gain of the test-camera.\u00a0 Personally I do see this as the highlight of the course.\u00a0 That so many participants came to right value\u00a0is a remarkable success, because it is not a really\u00a0simple measurement to do.\u00a0\u00a0Making a Photon-Transfer Curve (PTC)\u00a0seems to be\u00a0fairly simple if you have some experience, but can be difficult if you have to do this for the first time.\u00a0 But once the participants have the knowledge of how to create a PTC, other measurements become simple as well.\u00a0 In many cases it is a matter of calculating averages and calculating standard deviations.\u00a0 It is just a matter of doing this things in the right order !<\/p>\n
At this moment my Hands-On Characterization course is only organized by CEI.\u00a0 And up to now CEI is using 4 different course location : Barcelona, Copenhagen, Dresden and Cambridge.\u00a0 Unfortunately the transport of the equipment needed in the course is not so easy.\u00a0 Transporting by a courier is tricky because the equipment is pretty vulnerable, and tranporting by car (as I did up to now) takes a lot of time.\u00a0 For that reason CEI will organize the next Hands-On Characterization course in Amsterdam (in May 2012).\u00a0 This is much closer to my home, which makes the transport of the equipment much easier.\u00a0 Moreover, Amsterdam is also very easy to reach from all over Europe, making the travelling for the participants very smooth as well.\u00a0 Looking forward to see some of my readers in Amsterdam \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
