The Huntron Tracker 2000 provides advanced troubleshooting capabilities to simplify testing newer technology components such as CMOS and MOS circuits. Its built-in pulse generator lets you thoroughly troubleshoot gate-fired devices such as SCR's, TRIACs and opt couplers. By energizing the gate, you can test a component in an active mode.
You use a Tracker 2000 while the power to the circuit you're testing is turned off. So you avoid an accidental short that could cause further damage. It allows you to analyze the overall health of a solid- state component, which makes it perfect for finding leakage or substrate damage that has brought a system or PCB down prematurely. Because it can compare suspect components to known-good equivalents, it's also ideal for troubleshooting when documentation is missing or incomplete.
The Tracker works by applying a current-limited AC signal across two points of a component. The current flow causes a vertical deflection of the CRT trace, while the voltage causes a horizontal deflection. Together they give you a unique current-voltage "analog signature" that represents the overall health of the device you're testing. Analyzing each signature, you can quickly tell if a component is good, bad or marginal. |
