Takaya extends the test capabilities of the APT9411 and APT9600 Flying Probe Testers

Takaya and Itochu Systech have successfully integrated the 4-kwadrant Yokogawa GS610 power supply in the APT9411 and APT9600 testers.
This fully integrated combination greatly extends the functional testcapabilities of the single- and dual-sided flying probe PCBA testers.

Examples of possible functional tests with the GS610 are:
- Zener-Diodes up to 100V with input current up to 500mA
- Switching of FeTs, Triacs and Thyristors
- Optocouplers
- Stability test of powerlines by using GS610 as a programmable load
- Relais

Testprogramming with the integrated GS610 is done by using the standard Takaya APT software and CAD data.
Each teststep combines contactcoordinates, measurement parameters and pass/fail criteria.

The Yokogawa GS610 is completely integrated in the testsystem.
All analog connections to the flying probes are made using the Takaya scanner board.
The software driver of GS610 is part of the standard Takaya APT software and a standard GPIB connection is used for the communication.
The two instruments virtually acts as one.
