Early EFIS systems portray information using cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. Later instrument displays are presented on multi-colour liquid-crystal display (LCD) screens, which replace some or all of the conventional flight instruments for both pilots.

A typical EFIS system comprises a Primary Flight Display (PFD) (Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI)) and an Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI) (Navigation Display). In some designs the two displays are integrated into one.

The Primary Flight Display (PFD) is an instrument which integrates and depicts, on a single display, all of the information that was historically presented on a number of individual electromechanical instruments. The PFD has evolved from a basic attitude indicator/flight director combination, presented electronically on a CRT, to an Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI) which, variable by manufacturer, added additional information such as heading, altitude and airspeed. The modern PFD displays virtually all of the information that the pilot requires to determine basic flight parameters (altitude, attitude, airspeed, rate of climb, heading, etc) plus autopilot and auto-throttle engagement status, flight director modes and approach status. Depending upon the phase of flight and pilot selections, the flight director will provide appropriate lateral guidance to maintain the selected track, heading or approach and missed approach track and vertical guidance for climb and descent, level off, approach and missed approach. This greatly reduces pilot workload while in manual flight and facilitates flight monitoring with the autopilot engaged as all required information is displayed on a single instrument.

The Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI), often referred to as the Navigation Display (ND), replaces a number of different instruments found on a conventional aircraft instrument panel, and may be used to depict some or all of the following information:

2. Performs diagnostic, corrective and preventive maintenance on complex electronic systems and instruments, including analog pneumatic and digital electronic equipment; install, test, troubleshoot and repair programmable logic controller interfaces located at a wastewater treatment facility.

4. Installs and inspects new equipment; evaluates performance under operating conditions; assists in the design, fabrication or modification of fixtures, instruments and related apparatus; and verifies and evaluates dimensional and functional acceptability and performance of such devices.

5. Operates special power or hand tools and measuring equipment including soldering equipment, oscilloscopes, multi-meters, analyzers, calibrators, hand generators, power suppliers and other instruments used in operating, testing, calibrating or repairing electromechanical and electrohydraulic apparatus.

Knowledge of: The methods and procedures involved in the maintenance, monitoring, testing and repair of electronic and pneumatic equipment, including knowledge of integrated circuits, electronic and electrical principles and theory; digital and analog circuits; relay logic and electronic power, data processing and communications equipment; application of safety procedures related to electronics, work in sewers and around sewage processing centers.

These minimum qualifications establish the education, training, experience, special skills and/or license(s) which are required for employment in the classification. Please note, additional qualifications (i.e., special conditions) may apply to a particular position and will be stated on the exam/job announcement.

Completion of a two-year AA or AS degree program in Electronics or Instrumentation or equivalent, such as an Electronics or Instrumentation Certificate from a recognized trade or technical school, or military training in Electronics or Instrumentation; AND

Upon appointment to employment, and then on an annual basis, employees will be required to pass a State-mandated Respirator Medical Examination and be clean-shaven as required for use, and at least annually for respirator and self-contained breathing apparatus fitting.

All City and County of San Francisco employees are designated Disaster Service Workers through state and local law (California Government Code Section 3100-3109). Employment with the City requires the affirmation of a loyalty oath to this effect. Employees are required to complete all Disaster Service Worker-related training as assigned, and to return to work as ordered in the event of an emergency.

An Instrumentation Technology Associate of Applied Science degree program prepares graduates for entry-level careers as Instrument Technicians in the chemical processing industry. Through the use of state of the art simulation equipment, as well as hands-on applied technology training and general academic coursework, the student will develop the skills required to be a successful Instrument Technician.

Lee College gives students state of the art hands-on training throughout the Instrumentation Technology program. Graduates will be proficient in calibration, troubleshooting, and maintenance of hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and electronic control devices. They will also be able to function in the electrical maintenance and electrical distribution-related occupations, as well as have introductory-level knowledge of automation systems and designing, programming, and troubleshooting programmable logic controllers.

The Associate of Applied Science in Industrial Instrumentation Technology prepares individuals to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair various types of measuring and control instruments and peripherals, such as measuring, transmitting, indicating, recording, and controlling devices, final elements, optical instruments and control systems. Specialized classroom instruction will be provided along with practical shop experience in the areas of electronics, motor controls, and different types of measuring systems. Students may be granted a Technical Diploma upon satisfactory completion of the diploma curriculum. Certificates are also offered.

This program is available to anyone that is interested in pursuing jobs in general electronics maintenance and repair, including industrial electronics and instrumentation in manufacturing facilities. Focused subject matter includes Programmable Logic Controllers, Robotics, and Motor Controls.

An introductory study of the National Electric Code (NEC) for those employed in fields requiring knowledge of the Code. Emphasis on wiring design, protection, methods, and materials; equipment for general use; and basic calculations.

Automatic process control including measuring devices, analog and digital instrumentation, signal transmitters, recorders, alarms, controllers, control valves, and process and instrument diagrams. Includes connection and troubleshooting of loops.

The associate degree in engineering technologies at OSUIT allows students to gain hands-on experience both in the classroom and on the job. Mentors with in-field experience pass on the latest practices and techniques in industrial systems engineering, from design to maintenance.

Every aspect of manufacturing or production uses automated components, complex mechanical instruments and electronic and computerized systems. To ensure that the production process runs smoothly, people like automation technicians, electrical technicians and control system technicians must have training in multiple areas such as mechanics, electronic controls, system design and safety regulations.

Both the Electrical Technologies major and the Instrumentation Technology major are designed to be completed in around two years, with a total of 75 course credits taken over five semesters. These Associate of Applied Science degrees comprise a mix of technical engineering core courses, additional major courses to support your specialization and general education courses, along with a paid internship semester with OSUIT industry partners.
