Education
Electricity, electronics, physics, industrial maintenance and environment: disciplines where measurement is involved at every stage.
See the video on Educational Events in 2013 (in French only)
From middle schools... to higher education
When studying Science and Technology, measurement is essential to observe and understand theoretical phenomena through practice. Measurement of the characteristics of a component or system with our measuring instruments, their behaviour in their environment and their evolution over time plays an important role in both initial and higher education.
From the simplest instruments to use for initial training through to the most complex encountered by students once they start work.
See examples in the magazine "Les Cahiers de l’Instrumentation."

Initial training & Electronics
One of students' first introductions to electrical quantities, in middle school, involves measuring and then viewing the waveform of a signal.
Multimeters or oscilloscopes with a multimeter function can be used for this first introduction and to identify the fundamental characteristics: amplitude, frequency, etc.
Electrical Engineering classes
In these classes, converters, motors, generators and transformers are all presented. These classes involve numerous measurement operations characterized by the presence of significantly higher voltages and currents. Understanding and implementing electrical safety are major issues.
From voltage detection with a Voltage Absence Tester, to TRMS measurements (AC / DC / AC+DC with multimeters and multimeter clamps), the measuring instruments used in recurrent operations are equipped with simple functions (resistance, continuity, capacitance, etc.) as well as more complex ones (differential and relative measurements, etc.).
Chauvin Arnoux has a wide range of professional instruments for studying power and energy values which are acknowledged for their simplicity of use and are ideal for teaching...

The "Cahiers de l’Instrumentation" (in French)
Drawing on its close, privileged relationship with the French National Education system, the Chauvin Arnoux Group accompanies the actors in education by participating each year in a large number of events and by publishing the "Cahiers de l’Instrumentation" magazine.
The Club du Mesurage (Measurement Club) was founded in 2000 with the main aim of pooling requirements to teach measurement and ensuring that measuring instruments matched the changes in the syllabuses of high schools, universities and engineering schools. The club's members are drawn from the General and Regional Inspectors in the French National Education system and managers from the Chauvin Arnoux Group.
This led in the same year to the creation of the Cahiers de l’Instrumentation, an annual publication distributed as a preview on the Chauvin Arnoux stand at the EDUCATEC trade fair in late November. The Cahiers de l’Instrumentation is also mass-distributed to people involved in technical and scientific education. 10,000 copies are sent free of charge at the start of each year and others are handed out in local meetings.
The Cahiers de l’Instrumentation deal with measurement in all its forms: news, practical exercises done at high schools, education dossiers, reports, etc.
