RCP Basics (SW-RCP-101)


Description

Course Overview: RCP Fundamentals

This course is a practical guide to the Rheonics Control Panel (RCP). The primary goal is to familiarize yourself with basic functionality: connecting to a sensor, viewing live data, and performing basic health checks; and get familiar with Rheonics documentation on RCP: Rheonics Control Panel manual and Knowledge Base.


This is an introductory course. It does not cover advanced sensor calibration or complex system troubleshooting. Instead, it focuses on the essential tasks required to get a sensor operational and how to use RCP as a daily reference tool.



Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Verify Installation: Confirm RCP is correctly installed and ready for use.

  • Establish Connectivity: Connect to a sensor via USB and Ethernet.

  • Monitor Performance: Distinguish between normal and abnormal live measurements.

  • Risk Assessment: Identify which settings are safe to view and which require expert consultation before changing.

  • Data Retrieval: Generate and export the log files required for technical support.

  • Config File Management: Understand the different types of configuration files and how to work with them
