Electronics could be taught straight from a book if students were able to visualise the function of an experimental circuit. Unfortunately this is rarely the case and until now it has been necessary to laboriously assemble every experiment to be examined.

The assembly of each circuit has no didactic value whatsoever other than to provide the student with a circuit on which to perform the experiment. Now, this can be dramatically improved with the OLS-2000 Digital Electronics Overlay Learning System.

Features

The OLS-2000 overlay learning system allows the student to assemble even the most involved circuit in less than five minutes, thus leaving enough time for fruitful experimentation.

The OLS-2000 system features wiring templates which fit over a breadboard and guide students to an immediate and rational experimental layout whilst the experiment book relates to the traditional circuit diagram.

The OLS-2000 is ideal for use with our IDL-800 Digital Lab, ETS-5000 Advanced Digital Lab and ETS-7000 Analogue and Digital Lab.

No add-ons are required. All the necessary equipment including a standardised set of components is included. The thoroughly researched courseware was designed by educators with over 20 years practical teaching experience, with the aim to enforce theory and not confuse students. The professionally produced manuals are referenced to the most widely used theory books, and the schematic diagrams, component listings, and experiment procedure are clearly listed. Each experiment was tested for typical student reaction prior to final editing.

No prerequisites are demanded other than basic arithmetic. The emphasis is on an instrumental understanding rather than a mathematical one. The continuous hands-on exposure ensures the transfer of marketable technological skills in the minimum amount of time.
