The people over at ABIelectronics.co.uk have a somewhat new test
instrament. It is called a CM4000 and has a number of features. The
one I am intersted in is the Firm/Flex feature. What happens is that
an AC signal of different voltages and currents and source resistances
is fed into a node and then the result of the signal is displayed on
the front of the unit. It looks like a digital scope. What they kind
of did was take a Huntron and add a signal injector and use it on live
circuits. This way you can tell if a zero volt reading is the result
of an open trace or digital low or short to ground. I would buy one
except I have a number of Huntron style devices and I don't want to
spend $4000.00 for one feature. My question is has anyone seen this
done before? Did HP or Textronic or BK ever make something like this?
Maybe there is an old used model that will do the same basic thing for
hopefully a fraction of the price. Or some ideas on how to pull it off
with the toys I have.
Thanks
