New Huntron Workstation 4.1.3999 released!

Workstation Troublesheet Huntron released a new version of Huntron Workstation that addresses issues reported by users, adds support for the Access DH Prober and includes some useful new features, many stemming directly from customer suggestions. Notably, the Troublesheet tab in the Signature pane has been redesigned to make navigating and viewing of the Passed, Failed and Removed components much easier. You can also create Scan Lists from the Troublesheet.
The ability to import HAF (Huntron ASCII format) files is now enabled without the need for CAD Tools. For those who are data savvy, this could be quite useful.
Some new function calls have been added to the Huntron Remote Control software enabling users to have additional control of Huntron Workstation from a remote Test Executive.
You now have a compact Troublesheet Report that fits up to 6 signatures on one page. This will make for shorter reports.
Plus, Huntron Workstation is now compatible with Windows 7!
As always, any input from Huntron users is welcome.
Visit the Huntron Software page for more details.

New 50mil diameter Probe Holder for Access Probers

new Prober holder Huntron has just finished developing a modified Spring Probe Holder for Access Probers that uses a 50mil diameter probe. This is half the diameter of the standard probe. This will allow you to use smaller spring probes and probe smaller points on your circuit boards. The image to the right shows the standard 100mil probe on the left and the 50mil probe on the right.
This probe holder will sell as a kit and allow you to easily switch between the 100mil and 50mil Probe Holders.
The new 50mil probe holder can be used on Huntron Prober IIc, Prober IIIc, Access, Access USB and Access 2 USB Probers.
Contact Huntron for more details!

Huntron Website Redesign

You may or may not have noticed but the Huntron website has received a major overhaul in look, feel and usabilty. The new site concentrates on a cleaner look with easy to use navigation links. The main menus reside at the top of the page with menus containing related links sitting to the right side of the pages. We welcome any input regarding the new design.

Changing Sequence Reference in Huntron Workstation

There may be times when you want to set a particular scan as a Reference for all components in a Sequence. This can be easily accomplished using the row header right-click menu in the Tree pane/Component Scans tab. Right-click the row header of the scan you wish to enable or disable as a Reference for the entire sequence (see image)
