With programming software based on the DiagnoSYS TestVue™ and TestFlow™ platforms for ease of use, the PinPoint-FD can be configured with drivers and instruments to suit almost any application. The "open architecture" approach to hardware means that the DiagnoSYS high-speed drivers, hybrid in-circuit drivers and analogue instrumentation can be combined with integral PXI cards, or additional external instrumentation, to form a complete test system with a single programming platform.</font></font> <p><font size="2" face="Arial">With turn-round for new applications becoming more time-critical the TestFlow™ software has been developed to greatly reduce the time taken to create a functional test programme and to incorporate the functions of any pin driver, card or instrument attached to the PinPoint-FD. With the ability to import CAD data and test vector descriptor files the programmer can generate a complete functional test programme in the shortest possible time.</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Arial">In line with the "future-proofed" modular design of the system different fixturing methods can be employed with simple interfacing to the PinPoint-FD. The user has the option of manual, pneumatic or vacuum with interfacing from both the edge of the card and fixture pins. With the main use of the PinPoint-FD being in both high and low volume production environments, the system comes with the ability to output test fault data and management statistics over a network. Programming support and backup have also been taken into account with the development of PinPoint-FD and the team of applications and programming engineers at DiagnoSYS has been expanded to include dedicated personnel for increased production applications. The development of the PinPoint-FD is based on 25 years of in house experience in the circuit board repair industry, and on the very successful PinPoint in-circuit test system. The PinPoint-FD is the next generation in the DiagnoSYS range of test solutions.</font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="50"><font face="Arial"><img src="images/pinpoint.jpg" align="middle" width="425" height="215"><br> <font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial"><strong>     <br> </strong></font><font color="#9F0100" size="5"><strong>PinPoint I</strong></font></font> <p><strong><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial">Description</font></strong><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial"><br> PinPoint is the fastest, most economical in-circuit tester available for service departments, production test/repair, repair centres, third-party and fourth-party maintainers.<br> <br> It is a powerful diagnostic tool for use on virtually any digital or hybrid circuit board, no matter what the component configuration; it can even test many boards previously considered untestable. <br>   <br> In-circuit powered-up testing of devices in logic analyser mode is complemented by "TrakTest" for checking track community between devices together with impedance testing.<br> <br> PinPoint's ability to cycle through test vectors at up to 10MHz (rate programmable) ensures rapid execution of the most complex automatic test sequences for all present and foreseen devices.

It's capabilities further enhance functionality by enabling the user to produce high quality, accurate circuit documentation in the form of an overlay and circuit schematic to either ANSI or IEEE standards.<br> </font><img src="images/schem.jpg" align="right" hspace="0" width="200" height="143"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial"><br> The key to the accuracy of PinPoint's schematic creation is due largely to the capabilities of its Dual Programmable Resistance Meter (DPRM) measuring an interconnect to less than 1 Ohm. The dual capability of the DPRM allows the operator to select 2 independent resistance valves; one for measuring to a low impedance power rail and the second to measure between device interconnects. The DPRM makes the 'Schematic' ideally suited for all board types from Analogue through to Digital. <br> <br> The learned Netlist File is passed to the Schematic Translation software where a wire list and CAD format file are produced. Once invoked, the Schematic CAD environment is extremely powerful and easy to use. Components are 'Autoplaced' and then 'Autorouted' to produce a quality document. The software also supports a whole range of powerful utilities to give the user the freedom to change and modify the standard format, and includes features to Autoroute across multiple pages, create custom symbols and add text.</font><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Arial"><strong><br> </strong></font><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial"><strong>Technique </strong><br> PinPoint Schematic offers the most versatile reverse engineering/schematic generation facility available. It will assess surface mount, through hole and custom devices to generate a complete circuit diagram and board layout. Covering digital, analogue and mixed signal technologies, it is reliable, fast and employs a resistance measurement technique thus requiring no power to be applied to the board.<br> <br> The PinPoint intuitive point and click method of programming makes production of PCB overlays a rapid and simple operation. The overlay created is then used to guide the user through an advanced multi-clip learn technique, determining all circuit nodes and interconnects.
