BoardMaster 8000 PLUS is a self-contained printed circuit board (PCB) test system from ABI Electronics. It comprises a comprehensive set of test instruments, complete with built-in Windows PC, for testing and fault-finding on almost any kind of PCB.
Offering a variety of test methods, the system is controlled by sophisticated yet easy to use software. The system is modular and can be customised for specific applications, while its software can be configured to guide users step-by-step through a test procedure, with custom-annotated picture images, instructions and attached datasheets to give quick pass/fail results.
A typical BoardMaster 8000 PLUS configuration offers the following elements:
• Two board fault locator modules, with 128 test channels for multiple test methods for fault diagnosis and functional testing of digital ICs (in-circuit / out-of-circuit), IC connection status, and voltage acquisition, V-I curve testing of components on unpowered boards.
• An analog IC tester for in-circuit functional testing of analog ICs and discrete components (no programming or circuit diagrams needed). Fully configurable V-I tester for detection of faults on unpowered boards.
• A multiple instrument station with eight high-specification test and measurement instruments in one compact module (frequency counter, digital storage oscilloscope, function generator, digital floating multimeter, auxiliary PSU and universal I/O).
• A triple-output variable power supply provides required supply voltages to the unit under test.
BoardMaster 8000 PLUS has proven popular with customers in the areas of telecommunications, transportation and automotive manufacturing. Many land forces, airforce and navy organisations around the globe also use it to provide on-site test and repair, avoiding time consuming returns to distant repair sites.
For less complex or cost-sensitive needs, System 8 modules may be selected and mounted in a PC-driven housing. Applications include PCB testing and troubleshooting, digital/analog IC test, digital/analog V-I test, visual short identification with audible/visual indication of probe distance to short, live board comparison, manufacturing defects analysis, power-on/off testing, QA reporting, embedded real-time control, calculation and logging, component and board level testing, digital and analog functional tests, automated test sequences and more.
