CircuitMaster 4000 M active precision oscilloscope combines the power of a 100 MHz 10-bit DSO and a digital Voltmeter to 0.1%, with exclusive testing techniques to provide the multiple diagnostic capabilities in a single unit. Designed to simplify the secure research of fine pitch PCB,
CircuitMaster 4000 M is unlike any other oscilloscope (usually 8-bit devices), providing innovative test and measurement functions for the detailed analysis of the circuit. With two analog input channels, as well as an external trigger, the
CircuitMaster 4000 M also offers four digital inputs adjustable threshold for logic signals, making it useful for mixed signal applications. For multiple signal acquisition, a 40-channel connector is provided for use with IC or PCB connectors. This accessory can be used as double-channel 20 for comparison and signal acquisition in real time.
While the CircuitMaster 4000 M can operate as a conventional oscilloscope with standard features and measurements, its built-in accurate Voltmeter (0.1% 24-bit) provides an accurate reading of the voltage probed to display simultaneously the signal waveform. Pedal makes sampling probe measurements easier and safer as well.
Other display options can provide useful signal analysis capabilities.
The unique CircuitMaster 4000 m Active Mode offers DC or AC signal outputs on the same channel used to measure an input signal. This measures the active response from a test to a stimulus, detect circuit conditions not visible with conventional instruments. Alternatively, this mode can be used as a function generator to inject signals to a Board, with the second channel to be used to monitor the response in a different point in the circuit, checking the phase delay, for example.
Can be a challenge finding a short-circuit or an open circuit in a PCB powered-both return a 0V voltage with a voltmeter or oscilloscope. But with CircuitMaster 4000 m mode active, injecting a small DC signal to the circuit and measure the response gives the user a clear indication of the fault condition. With an open circuit (no current) voltage output of CircuitMaster 4000 M remains unchanged, but with a short circuit, the voltage will drop almost completely. An additional capacity-the FirmFlex mode -provides the most useful information-it can assess the strength of a node, i.e. their ability to sink or source of current in a circuit properly.
The CircuitMaster 4000 m can quickly and easily perform analog signature analysis (or VI tests), a technique for investigating voltage-current characteristics of energized devices node. The resulting curve can indicate resistive, capacitive, inductive and semiconductor characteristics to detect flaws in a leaky diode components, for example, or to compare known good devices and suspicious. For additional fault detection capabilities, the CircuitMaster 4000 m scan mode can perform automatic tracking of the curve, showing the amplitude and phase for several variations of voltage and frequency.
The TestFlow Manager software provided allows users to create automated test sequences in a simple structure, step by step, personalized with photos, diagrams, instructions, PDF datasheets or Web material. A graphics option can also be used to guide the test procedures, allowing users to enter comments that will appear in a final report. The resources to save and share test data and procedures make CircuitMaster 4000 M useful for various seasons or geographic locations.

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 30, 2013 - MAISACH (NEAR MUNICH), Germany -- Speaking of the so-called "measurement chain", a backplane represents the connecting element between measuring signal, signal conditioning, and data acquisition. It allows for easy connection of sensors and measuring amplifiers, and provides an optimally adjusted signal for the PC data acquisition system.
