Cablescan PC Based Circuit Analyzers

	PC-BASED ANALYZERS
	Series 90 Series 90HV Series 90H8 Series 90L8 Series 90 Software
	The Cablescan Series 90 analyzers provide high-speed testing for wire harnesses, backplanes, and printed-circuit boards. They provide diode testing, resistance and capacitance measurements, and build aids. They have a broad range of test applications from simple wire harnesses to prescreening of loaded circuit boards. The analyzer consists of a Pentium-based System Controller, with Keyboard and VGA Color Monitor, and one or more expansion cabinets housing scanner boards.
	All Series 90 analyzers have an extensive assortment of programmable options to allow customizing of tester operations, test results printing, and test results storage and evaluation using a statistical report system.
	There are two basic versions of the analyzers: Series 90, a low-voltage system, and Series 90HV, a high-voltage system.
	Each version, Series 90 or Series 90HV, can have up to 32 expansion cabinets but high-voltage and low-voltage cabinets cannot be intermixed. The System Controller and each expansion Cabinet can be separated by up to several hundred feet, for applications requiring interconnects spread over a large area, as in testing aircraft and shipboard cabling.
	Test programs are created internally using the keyboard and a specialized wire list editor, or obtained externally by learning (scanning) a completed assembly, or importing CAD data. Test programs written for one version of Series 90 can be run on any other version simply by changing the test voltage and isolation settings. Operator use is enhanced by a menu-driven user interface.

	COMPONENT MEASUREMENTS The Series 90 analyzers can be programmed through the keyboard and built-in editor to define component values and tolerances for circuits containing resistors, capacitors, and diodes. Additionally, diode and capacitor polarities can be defined, as well as diode forward voltage drops.
	PROGRAMMABLE THRESHOLDS Continuity and isolation (shorts) thresholds can be programmed at three levels; as system defaults, or for individual programs, or while running specific tests.
	PROGRAMMABLE TEST METHODS The Series 90 performs tests in a variety of methods: continuity, opens, and shorts tests are individually selectable. A single test scan or continuous scans may be performed. There are three selectable formats for displaying test results: display the value of each circuit and component tested; display only the failed circuits and components; display just the final pass/fail status. Passwords can be programmed to control access to high voltage testing. Complete test results may be printed, or a pass/fail label may be printed.
	WIRE LIST PROGRAMMING Test programs can be generated by scanning known-good assemblies. A full-function program editor provides wire list programming through the keyboard when a known-good assembly is not available. The program editor is also used for programming components, changing test parameters and options, editing existing programs, or assigning 16-character user labels and 32-character circuit labels.
	STATISTICAL DATA REPORTING Test results may be serialized and stored for use in generating test summary reports. Build times may also be saved for use in creating reports comparing assembly times against standards.
	BUILD FEATURES
	Body conductance Programmable build methods Shorts testing Graphical Operator Instructions Last-circuit retest
	BODY CONDUCTANCE Body conductance is used during harness build to locate and identify points by touch. Audio as well as visual outputs indicate when the correct point is touched.
	PROGRAMMABLE BUILD METHODS During harness build, the Series 90 verifies each circuit as it is terminated. It can operate in a predetermined build sequence or allow terminations at random. The build method can be programmed to switch automatically between sequential and random. The wire list may also be grouped to allow a section to be routed without terminating. Once the section is routed the Series 90 verifies each circuit as it is terminated.
	SHORTS TESTING The Series 90 verifies that the circuit being terminated is not shorted to another circuit (normally occurring when a wire is inserted incorrectly.)
	GRAPHICS Graphics and text displays during assembly provide detailed work instructions. This enables a "paperless factory" environment, providing automatic indexing to the corresponding assembly details for each circuit.
	LAST-CIRCUIT RETEST The Series 90 can be set to retest the previously terminated circuit for continuity. If that circuit becomes unterminated, the Series 90 automatically backs up, allowing retermination. This feature prevents the tester from permanently advancing and displaying the next circuit while the immediate circuit makes only temporary contact with the terminating point. Connector pins that back out after the operator releases the wire will also cause the tester to back up.
