Introducing the Personal Troubleshooting Workstation
Troubleshooting complex boards without applying power is now more effective than ever. Presenting the Huntron ProTrack I troubleshooting system. It's the heart of Huntron's Personal Troubleshooting Workstation concept. Now you can put together completely customized systems that meet your specific requirements. From simple benchtop troubleshooting units to fully automated systems that can test the toughest boards - the ones packed with the latest mixed- technology components. From through-hole to surface-mount. It's a system designed to expand to meet all your testing needs at an affordable cost. The latest in signature analysis.
Over twenty-five years ago, the first Huntron Tracker signature analysis (TSA) instrument revolutionized the industry. It helped solve difficult problems that conventional testing methods were unable to handle especially when a circuit board could not be powered up.
TSA works by applying a current-limited AC sine wave across two terminals of a component. You create a unique current vs. voltage signature that represents the overall health of the device under test. It lets you visualize component leakage and substrate damage that is difficult to find with conventional testing methods. You can troubleshoot components without applying power, saving circuits from possible further damage.
Programmable troubleshooting for more reliable results.
The ProTrack system is the first generation of programmable TSA instruments. It lets you set the voltage, resistance and frequency, to best match the characteristics you're testing for. At the same time, Huntron's exclusive STAR (Safe Tracker Active Range) feature eliminates the possibility of damaging a component by setting test parameters beyond its current limitations.
The value of customizing test ranges becomes apparent when you look at some actual examples. Even a simple circuit such as in this diagram can be tested for a number of different characteristics. A fixed-range test produces a composite signature that can mask those variations. By testing with different combinations of voltage and resistance, you can view signatures for each of the components of the composite signature. The ProTrack I benchtop instrument lets you set and store 20 customized test groups, with four test ranges for each group. Connecting the Model 20 to a personal computer lets you create and store customized test ranges for an unlimited number of components and pins.
From benchtop to automated system.
By itself, the ProTrack I is the ultimate benchtop troubleshooting tool. By combining it with an IBM-compatible PC and with other Huntron personal troubleshooting workstation accessories, you can vastly extend its capabilities.
Computer control
Using the ProTrack I system and its Huntron Workstation software with a personal computer brings a new level of efficiency to troubleshooting. It lets you:
- Create customized test routines for low-volume applications very quickly
- Develop tests for inadequately documented printed circuit boards
- Transfer test information between computers or locations
- Store and rearrange component databases
- Store up to ten individual models for each component
- View test results immediately
- Print and store test data for historical files.
Scan components quickly
Adding a Huntron Scanner I to your ProTrack system lets you access components using standard DIP clips and cables. The ProTrack/Scanner I combination quickly scans and digitizes up to 128 points at a time. You can compare one component with another in real-time. Or use your PC to automate testing.
Complete automation
For the utmost in automated testing, connect your Model 20 to a Huntron Robotic Prober. Probers use precision robotics to thoroughly test entire boards automatically. You can test even the most complex surface-mount components - such as PLCCs, SOICs, PGAs, SSOPs and QFPs -without expensive fixturing.
The advanced ProTrack Windows-based software and the Probers' built-in video targeting system let you test points with tolerances as tight as 0.001". You can test even complex boards very quickly. Technicians have more time to analyze data and make better troubleshooting decisions.
