CIRCUITMASTER 4000M

Mixed Signal Circuit Analyser

Problem Statement
Todays technology now offers : Finer pitch ICs Higher pin count

Smaller components
Custom and more complex designs

Problem Statement
But with current test instruments :

One instrument for each application Multimeter for DC, Oscilloscope for AC
Risk of damage during probing Probe and view / adjust instrument at the same time Time wasting Pin counting, adjust instrument for each pin Difficult to clip onto small ICs e.g.: TQFPs, with some pins inaccessible (e.g. BGA)

CircuitMaster 4000M

CircuitMaster 4000M
Main Features :

Footswitch
FirmFlex SignalTrack MultiWay I/O LogicView V-I Characteristic

Footswitch
Allows the user to acquire up to 40 snapshots at the touch of a footstep. Each snapshot can be recalled and analysed reviewed.

FirmFlex
With a standard DVM :
1 is measured at 5 Volts 2 is measured at ~5 Volts 3 is measured at ~5 Volts 4 is measured at ~0 Volts 5 is unknown (floating) 6 is measured at ~0 Volts 7 is measured at 0 Volts

FirmFlex
Current test instruments DO NOT give any other information on the status of a test point. With FirmFlex, it is possible to simultaneously : Measure the voltage accurately Acquire the waveform

Measure the strength of the node

SignalTrack
Allows the user to send a programmable signal into a circuit (CH1) and measure a response at various points (CH2) with both waveforms synchronised.

LogicView
Allows the user to add up to 4 digital inputs (through MultiWay I/O) to the two analogue channels.

MultiWay
Allows the user to capture each pin of an IC under the same condition using a test clip (40 way)

V-I Characteristic
Allows the user to display the impedance characteristic of components and nodes using a fully adjustable stimulus.
