Unlike the typical equipment manufacturer’s HALT and HASS seminar that simply expounds success stories and testimonials, this course actually teaches the latest techniques. We begin with the science behind it, provide the hard engineering, and explain why the failures accelerated through higher stress levels are essential to developing reliable products. The course offers step-by-step instruction on why, how, and when to perform HALT (environmental and other stress stimulation methods applied in the design phase), how to correctly set-up and tune HASS profiles on production units, and how to prove that the HASS profiles leave enough life left, so the products can be confidently sold to customers. Learn how to vastly improve design margins and eliminate process problems using the highly accelerated techniques taught by their originator. The latest techniques are taught and published only in this seminar.

The Workshop takes place on the afternoon of day 2. In this advanced hands-on workshop, the participants learn techniques and methods that allow them to further refine and improve their existing methodologies. Upon completion, participants should be able to use these techniques without any additional assistance. Many of the subtle details required for successful use of the techniques are presented in this seminar and are not published elsewhere. During the workshop, a HyperHALT is performed by the attendees on a commercial electronic product using six axis vibration and high rate temperature cycling equipment. This session is hands-on with participant involvement in running of the tests and in the operation of the equipment used for stressing.

The techniques are continually being refined "with advancements such as HyperHALT, which was introduced in 2007.
We offer this updated course at a 50% discount to previous attendees.
