The PinPoint II fault-finding family from Diagnosys offers superior fault coverage and good return on investment. As well as saving time through increased productivity, the manufacturer says that it also saves on cost, and in today's competitive market that is an important factor when it comes to choosing the right test solution.
PinPoint II has been engineered to be extremely fast and flexible, with the ability to detect and isolate more faults faster. In-circuit functional test (both analog and digital) edge card functionality, VI analysis, boundary scan, PXI test, GPIB test and schematic reverse-engineering are tests all possible through the PinPoint II family.
Connectivity is also a key factor in choice of test equipment and this is another area in which the PinPoint II excels. The combination of device clips, edge connection and bed-of-nails fixturing possible, means that it can connect to virtually any board.
Test programs are developed using TestVue 32, PinPoint II's intuitive, Windows-based software which uses clear menus and interactive graphics to guide users through each stage of test strategy, automatically generating on-screen prompts to get the job done right, without delays.
TestVue 32 comes complete with a built-in library of more than 16 000 devices, including military components, which are constantly updated and accessible via the Internet. Users can add their own devices to the database or use the optional Data Capture Pod, which captures live data in-circuit while the device is in use.
Another key capability is to reverse engineer a schematic diagram or netlist from an unknown circuit. This provides users with the ability to support, test, diagnose and repair circuits that have been declared obsolete, or that are not documented.
Diagnosys was recently recognised as a valued partner by AWACS in the US, where the PinPoint II system is used as a dedicated test system for legacy technology in certain mission critical boards. The AWACS support equipment program manager has said that the PinPoint II system has saved them more than $12 million over the past few years.
