Model 30 - Compact Tracker Designed for Huntron Workstation software

mod30 The Huntron Tracker Model 30 is a new compact Tracker designed for use with Huntron Workstation and accessories such as the new Scanner II, the new Scanner 31S or a Huntron Access Prober. Take advantage of Tracker Signature Analysis capabilities to help you troubleshoot printed circuit board faults to the component level and without applying power, saving circuits from possible further damage.
The Tracker Model 30 enables the user to set the applied voltage, frequency and source resistance to best match the circuit characteristics and display the optimum Tracker signature. The power of Huntron Workstation allows for the creation of Tracker Model 30 test routines and signature storage.

Highlights

  • Add the benefits of Power-Off test to your current diagnostic test strategy
  • Match the circuit impedance by setting the applied voltage, frequency and source resistance
  • Interface to the Huntron Access Prober, Scanner 31S or Scanner II
  • Use Huntron Workstation software for test creation and signature storage

The Huntron Tracker Model 30 is controlled by the Huntron Workstation 4 software for test database creation and signature capture. Signatures from known good PCBs are stored in the test database and used for comparison when troubleshooting suspect PCBs. Interfacing the Huntron Tracker Model 30 to test points can be accomplished manually using Huntron Microprobes, Scanner 31S, Scanner II, or automatically when used with a Huntron Robotic Prober such as the Huntron Access USB Prober.

Tracker PXI - For integration into your PXI based test system

The Huntron TrackerPXITM is designed to add component level diagnostics to your existing PXI test platform. Take advantage of Tracker Signature Analysis capabilities to help you troubleshoot printed circuit board (PCB) faults to the component level and without applying power, saving circuits from possible further damage.

The TrackerPXI enables the user to set the applied voltage, frequency and source resistance to best match the circuit characteristics and display the optimum Tracker signature. Using the TrackerPXI with Huntron Workstation software will allow for creation of complete test routines and signature storage.

Highlights

  • Add the benefits of Power-Off test to your PXI based test systems
  • Match the circuit impedance by setting the applied voltage, frequency and source resistance
  • Interface to the Huntron Access Prober
  • Use Huntron Workstation software for test creation and signature storage

Product Overview

The 2800 series of Huntron® Tracker® are designed to complement conventional test instruments in the debug and troubleshooting process. Using the proven power-off test method known as Tracker Signature Analysis it eliminates the risk of further circuit damage, which often occurs when power is applied. The Huntron Trackers are suited for todays mixed signal circuit cards where Analog and Digital are mixed together. The Tracker 2800's features variable range parameters resulting in over 100 combinations of voltage, source resistance and frequency. The 2800 series is a great off-line support tool for the automated Huntron Access Prober diagnostic systems.

The Tracker works by applying a current-limited AC signal across two points of a component. The current flow causes a vertical signature deflection, while the applied voltage causes a horizontal deflection. Together they form a unique V/I signature that represents the overall health of the device under test. Analyzing the signature can quickly determine whether the component is good, bad, or marginal.

Touch Screen Controls

Tracker 2800 zoom screen feature
Zoom or unzoom from the full screen signature mode by simply touching the on-screen signature.

The new Tracker 2800 and 2800S use a color touch screen for control of selected features such as DC Voltage Source control, pin selection (2800S) and Channel A/B alternating rate.
The Huntron Tracker 2800 series display provides a very fast screen refresh rate that approaches the speed of an electrostatic CRT display for quick screening of component pins. The enhanced range selections complement the Huntron Tracker Model 30 ranges as well as provide expanded test coverage. Huntron SigAssist is based on the range selection, the range parameters are used calculate and display numeric information. The Values displayed are resistance(in ohms), capacitance (in farads), power (in watts), and forward and reverse breakdown voltage (in volts).
Today's portable electronic devices use 3 volt or lower logic circuits. The low test voltage ranges of the Tracker 2800 make it an ideal tool to troubleshoot these products.

The Tracker 2800 and 2800S both feature a built-in DC Voltage Source that can be used to power gated devices such as TRIACs, SCRs and relays. This gives you a true dynamic test of these types of devices.

Tracker 2800S for multi-pin scanning

2800s-clips
The Tracker 2800S can make quick scans of multi-pin devices

The Huntron® Tracker® 2800S extends the capabilities of the popular Tracker 2800 to scan and compare up to 40 pins per channel using standard IC clips and cables. Comparison can take place manually or automatically allowing you to pick out the signatures differences quickly. The Tracker 2800S can save you time when compared to testing with hand probes.
