Datasheet

A flying probe tester from Digitaltest will make its debut at productronica in Munich (November 10-13). The Condor, MTS 505 is the latest generation of flying probe test system from Digitaltest. The system now provides support for larger and heavier boards. When combined with the company’s latest measurement hardware it can provide even higher test coverage while keeping maintenance requirements extremely low.

With new sophisticated software, new hardware innovations, comprehensive boundary scan integrations (JTAG Technologies/Göpel Electronic) and new flying and opens check probes, the new Condor MTS 505 is equipped for the future of fixtureless testing.

Condor users can now probe the smallest components using the innovative technology of the new flying probe which allows closer probe distances. This in turn allows for even greater test coverage with more accurate probing.

All Condor users can profit from the probe upgrade package to enjoy the benefits of the new flying probe and opens check probes.

The next generation of the Digitiser has been developed as part of the research project INPIKO, and can do more than re-generate Netlists. Now it is possible to import and use data and CAD data from any preceding processes. Together with a Condor flying probe test system this enables highly automated recovery of the CAD-Design.

In addition Digitiser 2.0 provides new methods for the determination of unknown component values using true metrological techniques.

CITE 7 is the new test system software from Digitaltest. It’s open architecture can meet all the future requirements in a Visual Basic .NET stand-alone world and is compatible with Windows 7 (32/64-bit).

The new software enables users to switch between VB or, NET based code and the user-friendly, GenFast tabular format. All existing test programs can also be seamlessly integrated into CITE 7.
