Flexible, automated diagnostic solutions to help people solve circuit card problems.
Huntron ProTrack
The ProTrack will be replaced by the Tracker Model 30 and/or TrackerPXI effective 1/1/2008. This applies to commercial sales only.
The Huntron ProTrack I enables the user to set the applied voltage, frequency and source resistance to best match the circuit characteristics and display the
optimum Tracker signature. Connecting to a personal computer will allow for creation of complete test routines and signature storage.
Three variables make up a Tracker test range: voltage (V), internal Tracker resistance (R) and AC sinewave frequency (F). By testing with different combinations of
voltage and resistance, you can view signatures for each of the components of the composite signature. The ProTrack I benchtop instrument lets you set and store 20
customized test groups, with four test ranges for each group. Connecting the Model 20 to a computer lets you create and store customized test ranges for an
unlimited number of components and pins
Highlights:
- Create customized test routines for low-volume applications very quickly
- Develop tests for inadequately documented printed circuit boards
- Transfer test information between computers or locations
- Store and rearrange component databases
- Store multiple signature models for each component
- View test results immediately
- Print and store test data for historical files.
Programmable troubleshooting for more reliable results.
The ProTrack system is the first generation of programmable ASA instruments. It lets you set the voltage, resistance and frequency, to best match the characteristics
you're testing for. At the same time, Huntron's exclusive STAR (Safe Tracker Active Range) feature eliminates the possibility of damaging a component by setting
test parameters beyond its current limitations.
The value of customizing test ranges becomes apparent when you look at some actual examples. Even a simple circuit such as in this diagram can be tested for a
number of different characteristics. A fixed-range test produces a composite signature that can mask those variations. .
From benchtop to automated system
By itself, the ProTrack I is the ultimate benchtop troubleshooting tool. By combining it with a PC and with other Huntron accessories such as the ProTrack Scanner or Access prober,
you can vastly extend its capabilities.
Computer control
Using the ProTrack I system and its Huntron Workstation software with a personal computer brings a new level of efficiency to troubleshooting. It lets you:
Scan components quickly...
Adding a Huntron ProTrack Scanner to your ProTrack system lets you access components using standard DIP clips and cables. The ProTrack/Scanner combination quickly
scans and digitizes up to 128 points at a time. You can compare one component with another in real-time. Or use your PC to automate testing.
Achieve complete automation...
For the utmost in automated testing, connect your ProTrack to a Huntron Prober. Probers use precision robotics to thoroughly test entire boards
automatically. You can test even the most complex surface-mount components - such as PLCCs, SOICs, PGAs, SSOPs and QFPs -without expensive fixturing.
The advanced Huntron Workstation software and the Probers' built-in video targeting system let you test points with tolerances as tight as 0.001".
You can test even complex boards very quickly. Technicians have more time to analyze data and make better troubleshooting decisions.
