Add Scanning Capabilites to Your Tracker Model 30


Huntron Scanners

Scanner Adpter and SMT clip and on PCBTracker Model 30 shown with Scanner II underneath; the Scanner Adapter is attached to the Scanner front and a SMD DIP clip and cable are being used

Adding a Huntron® Scanner to your Tracker Model 30 system lets you access components using standard DIP clips and cables, custom cables to PCB connectors or interface to a bed-of-nails.
You can compare one component with another in real-time (64 pins max.) or use your PC to automate testing and scan up to 128 pins.
Huntron Scanners can be used with a Huntron Access Prober to provide Common line connections while the Prober is probing a PCB. This method gives you up to 128 selectable Commons to use. For example, you can connect the Scanner to a connector on a PCB mounted in the Prober using a common ribbon style cable. While the Prober is probing, any one of the lines on the connected ribbon cable can be selected as the Common reference. This would provide you true point-to-point testing capabilities.

Cable Testing

A Tracker Model 30 and Scanner is ideal for cable testing. Detect opens, shorts and twisted pairs using your Tracker, Scanner and a simple test fixture.

Scanner II and Scaner 31S users may want to consider these Optional Accessories to enhance their test capabilities.
