Circuit board tester has 40 channels

8 February 2006 Test & Measurement

The multifunction CircuitMaster 4000M from ABI Electronics is designed for use in all situations involving analysis and testing of circuits. By combining active tests and passive measurements of AC, DC and Frequency in one pass and then processing through the signal reasoning software (SRS), which applies thresholds and comparative criteria to signals measured.

This gives a complete and accurate snapshot of node activity, with a comparison against expected thresholds for the component or circuit type.

As well as accurate signal measurements the CircuitMaster can test nodes with two active functions: Using the special FirmFlex function, the node 'stiffness' is analysed giving information on its connectivity and circuit drive capability while the circuit is powered. The power-off impedance analysis function allows the dynamic impedance (V-I) curve of the node to be displayed.

The CircuitMaster has a 40 channel I/O for coverage of ICs and connectors. A much higher degree of understanding over normal passive measurements is achieved by utilising all the functions, making it invaluable in design, production, test and repair according to the company.

The CircuitMaster 4000M consists of: full colour wide viewing angle TFT LCD; two analog channels; four digital input channels; two pulse output channels; 40 channel clip testing connector; Footswitch for operation; USB connection for result storage and updates. Additional accessories, calibration kit and demonstration PCB is available.
