Boardmaster Universal Diagnostic System

The ABI BoardMaster 8000 PLUS is a uniquely versatile, self-contained and easy-to-use test system. It offers the most comprehensive set of test instruments for fault-finding on almost any kind of PCB.
Whether your task is design verification, production test, semiconductor device testing, production repair or general maintenance, and whether your boards are analogue, digital or both, the BoardMaster 8000 PLUS provides the ultimate in diagnostic tools.

Today's rapidly changing, dynamic and progressive electronics industry presents multiple problems to engineers, whether they are working in design, production, test or fault-finding. Electronic circuits are becoming faster, smaller, cheaper and more complex. Cost-effective test and repair is also becoming more difficult to achieve. As a result, you are making ever increasing demands on your test equipment to keep pace with the challenges presented by this explosion of technology. If you recognise the problems, you are half way to finding the solution. Even though technology marches relentlessly on, the basic nature of faults remains the same. ICs still fail, diodes still become open circuit, capacitors still become short circuit. A solder bridge today is the same as a solder bridge 10 years ago. But today we must find these faults quicker. "Beyond economical repair" does not mean that the board cannot be repaired, only that it will take too long. The economics of repair also includes the cost of test equipment. The BoardMaster 8000 PLUS offers cost-effective faultfinding across a wide range of applications. It is an integrated package of high specification instrumentation controlled by
sophisticated but easy to use software. The hardware is installed in a rugged transportable case that also contains a high specification, MS Windows™ compatible PC. The BoardMaster 8000 PLUS is a modular system and can therefore be customised for specific applications.
