Introduction
The sUTP series is designed as a modular tester concept that can be utilized as an individual manual tester, as a diagnostic or laboratory system or as an in-line system. Combined with the SMTA the sUTP4010 can be used as an independent test and measuring device.
Increasing cost pressure and constantly reducing sizes of assembly groups and devices require integrated solutions with least possible space requirement. Fields of application for in-circuit and functional testing are becoming more and more complex as far as products from the electronic, energy, infotainment and automotive industry are concerned. Therefore there is an increasing demand for comprehensive, cost-effective testing methods and flexible test and measuring devices that can be adapted quickly to different products.
For this purpose the sUTP4510 – a new, integrated measuring and control system in the NOFFZ UTP series - has been developed. When designing this tester system the special focus was, to put on hardware adaption and signal conditioning directly within the system. Because of the compact design, it was possible to use short cabling and to realize a direct connection to the device under test.
The hardware setup is based on a small, space saving and modular system design. The tester can be used as a laboratory system, can be implemented in a rack, can be used in combination with the SMTA or can be equipped as a stand-alone tester system.
The basic configuration consists of:
sUTP 2HU 19“ chassis, (19” x 4.33” x 15.28” mm, B x H x D) containing
