Board Tester Delivers In-Circuit Test Capabilities

TracerMDA, a PC-based board tester, measures board-level resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, and IC-clamping diodes. The system will detect assembly failures such as SMT opens, missing components, shorts, opens, and improperly inserted components with little programming time. The test-head control module plugs into any standard PC via a 64-pin ribbon cable and uses a Windows-based programming environment. The system is housed in a 19" rack-mountable enclosure and is available with several options.
