CircuitMaster 4000M

The CircuitMaster 4000M Precision Active Oscilloscope is unlike any other oscilloscope as it provides some innovative test and measurement functions that enable engineers and technicians to perform several new types of circuit analysis.
It is designed for safe probing of closely spaced components by adding precision DC measurement, signal storage and analysis functions to a traditional oscilloscope design. A built in accurate voltmeter (24 bit) removes the need for multiple instruments, thus making the CircuitMaster a complete test and measurement station. The Active mode allows signals AC & DC to be injected into the board when required, allowing circuit conditions such as drive strength and source impedance to be checked – which is not possible with traditional oscilloscopes. In AC Active mode, the unit behaves much like a function generator. The CircuitMaster even has a built-in LogicView 4 channel analyser for logic signal display along with the 2 analogue inputs. FirmFlex and VI Curve functions provide impedance signature analysis on powered and un-powered boards.

 

 

TestFlows a step by step test sequences

 

A core feature of the AIMs software, the TestFlow Manager allows users to create automated test sequences in a simle, step by step structure. Each step may be customised with photos, schematics, instructions or even PDF and Web material.A more graphical option can also be used to direct users in their work, as in shown in the picture below (picture of a board with test points in red).

 

 

 

In this case, clicking on a test point will automatically open the appropriate test step and, if selected, will place the CircuitMaster in the right testing conditions. Each step of the TestFlow retains the information, the settings and the master data for direct comparison.

At any point during a TestFlow run, users can enter their own comments which will be included in the a final test report. The AIMs software also offers user control (username and password) to ensure that TestFlows and customisable windows do not become corrupted.
