My guys were unable to troubleshoot in the field until someone (like me) got there and reset the knobs for them. I was a pain in the neck. So part of what I trained my guys on was how to operate the test equipment. I would set test equipment up on our shop mock up machines, then have them turn away and I would goof up all the knobs and they would have to put them back where they needed to be. I forced them to learn what the knobs did. And yes, they did not appreciate and did not care. But I forced the issue. It did eventually help.
