The Model 100-PT. Continuity Test System utilizes the power of your Personal Computer or Laptop to deliver low-cost, high-speed testing of cables and harnesses. The Model 100-PT. tests a full 100 points for shorts and opens. The system is expandable to 300 points (or three modules) per card cage by simply plugging in additional boards. The system can automatically learn a cable or harness from a known good sample, or if you prefer, you can “build” your own cable by entering data into the built-in Net List editor, and then checking cables against it. This removes any possibility of reading in a faulty sample cable. Additionally, every point in a cable or harness can be assigned its own unique pin name and label for easy identification. The system allows the user to save all cable information to disk and test against that disk file at any time. Errors that are detected can be sent to the display screen or printer.
Other features include 3 types of tests for detecting intermittents and a “Locate A Wire” function. “Locate A Wire” is a powerful feature allowing the user to locate any pin in a cable or harness using a test probe. This feature is also useful as an assembly aid and can also be used for locating intermittents. Termination can be made directly from the Adapter Board to the user’s equipment or with the optionally available Terminal Block PC Board or the optionally available Universal Connector Box. The Universal Connector Box provides the user with one 36 pin Centronics female connector and 2 each of the following: - D Subminiature female connectors (9, 15, 15HD, 25 and 37 pin.) - IDC .1 pitch male headers (10, 20, 26, 34, 40 and 50 pin.) - Centronics female connectors (50 pin.) Requiring Windows Operating System and 256K of memory, the Model 100-PT. can be installed in the USB Card Cage. Software is supplied on a CD-ROM or can be downloaded from the CableTrakLLC.com website.
