7 Features:
1. | Dual - Channel Fault Detection by V / T tester (Analog Signature Analyzer - Trouble Shooting) Fault detection by direct comparison of the current-voltage characteristics (signatures) of a working and a faulty circuit board without applying power to the unit under test |
2. | Fault Detection by Comparison with Stored Signatures (Memory) Signatures of a functioning board can be saved and used at a later time as a reference for troubleshooting a faulty board. The point to touch can be indicated by a cross hair mark at an image of the board |
3. | Equivalent Circuit Diagram*** Display of an equivalent circuit that corresponds to the characteristic on the touched point |
4. | Display Values of Resistor, Capacitor and Diode Threshold*** Display the calculated values of resistance, capacitors and diode threshold voltages corresponding to the conditions at the contacted node |
5. | Dual - Channel Digital PC Oscilloscope As occasion may require, device can be used as oscilloscope |
6. | 0.2... 25KHz Square Wave Signal Output Channel 2 is used as a square wave generator. Channel 1 can be used as an oscilloscope |
7. | Analogue Voltage Output (2,5 mV Sensitivity) Channel 2 is used as Analog DC output -10 V +10 V. Channel 1 can be used as an oscilloscope |

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Prot Ar - Ge Endustriyel Proje Tasarim Teknolojik Ar - Ge Ltd. Sti. (Prot R&D Industrial Project Design R&D Ltd. Co.) FADOS7F1 Trouble Shooting & Oscilloscope Device is designed for trouble shooting all types of electronic boards. The FADOS7F1 is a PC-based VI Test Voltage – Current Analysis device.
Signature Analysis is a power-off test method that is used to troubleshoot circuit boards. FADOS7F1 works by applying a current-limited sine wave through a serial resistor point of touched on circuit and Voltage-Current (Signature) graph is displayed on the computer screen. In addition to these features, the computer software analyzes the Voltage – Current graph and shows the equivalent circuit diagram and the electronic components of the contact point. Those futures are intended to provide guidance to the user in order to facilitate trouble shooting.
Using the Dual Channel VI test feature, the intact and defective (or suspect) electronic boards can be compared by touching the same points on each board at the same time, thus the out-of-tolerance malfunctions can easily be diagnosed with this method. All the VI graphs are produced by the software making analyses at 720 separate points with an accuracy of 2.5 mV. Therefore the FADOS7F1 is very accurate.
Memory Recording feature; by means of this feature, the characteristics of the intact electronic board ( VI graph, equivalent circuit diagram and electronic components values) are written on the computer’s hard disk and taking these points as reference, you can compare the defective (or assumed to be defective) electronic boards accurately, easily and rapidly. At the same time, the data can be written on the photograph of the board. Thus, the recorded point can be seen on the photograph while making a comparison from the memory.
The software produces different sounds while comparing the matching and non-matching points during the test, thus allowing to concentrate only on the sound for a rapid comparison without having to look at a board or display continuously. The user can compare the electronic boards from 3 different settings at the same time. (Selected Current-Voltage-Frequency steps)
In addition to the above features, the VI FADOS7F1 Test Device can be used as a Dual-channel Oscilloscope, Square Wave Generator and Analog Voltage output. When the Square Wave Signal Output is used, a signal is applied to the electronic board and the other channels display the output signals on the oscilloscope screen.
Technicians, engineers and hobbyists have found VI graph to be an effective and efficient method for troubleshooting printed circuit boards. The signature comparison method is easy to use and allows for immediate feedback that will assist you in locating faulty component. As you gain some experience with VI graph you will realize that FADOS7F1 is an indispensable troubleshooting tool. Usage is very easy and users will find the faults just by looking at graphs without comparison.
When test Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA) with FADOS7F1, do not apply power to PCA. PCA and the devices must be made high-voltage capacitor discharges. There is no risk of further damage to the PCA while testing and troubleshooting.
FADOS7F1 is easy to carry since it’s small. It can be carried in a laptop briefcase. Including many more features, it is like a Swiss knife of users dealing with electronics.
