Hi! Thanks for watching and for your question. ABI's #BoardMaster is what you need to find faulty boards and components. RevEng will "only" produce a schematic from a good working board. Check out the #ABILabs series here to find out more about the BoardMaster and send us an email if you'd like to speak with a member of our team. Sales@abielectronics.co.uk The ABI Team.

At one point in the video, I noticed that the clip was inserted inverted, but the ATM wouldn't have this software inversion option when the clip is larger and doesn't fit properly, right? It would be cool to develop a new LPA module (logic and protocol analyzer), where it could save information through system 8 ultimate in the test flow, digital waveforms and data in a list for future comparison.
Well noticed that the clip is in the inverted position! The BoardMaster can perform the test in this way thanks to the great "auto clip" option and the Connections test which identifies how the clip is connected to the IC before performing the rest of the test. Your suggestion for developing a new Logic and Protocol Analyzer (LPA) module is intriguing. We are continuously striving to improve our systems and software, which have evolved over more than 40 years. We have just released a new version of the software which is free to all our BoardMaster customers. We are grateful for your advice and will certainly bring your request to the attention of our engineering team. The ABI Team www.abielectronics.co.uk sales@abielectronics.co.uk +44 1226207420
Thank you for your message and well spotted! ABI is the original manufacturer of the IC Testers that BK Precisions sells under a white-label agreement.
Hi , Good Video. In VI trace for resistor, I see you are getting a diagonal line. I am not sure how the component is connected inside the board but generally when the component is outside, we get this diagonal line. But if the resistor is connected in parallel with other resistors like SIP resistor, then how to validate the VI trace? Will we get this diagonal waveform (indicating that it is a good component) always or will it differ? I feel it will not defer. what is your opinion?
Hello and thanks for your comment! In order to have a clear signature of the device under test, you need to be able to manipulate the instrument settings to generate a more informative signal. Other devices on the same net may have different levels of influence on the DUT. In order to validate the V-I result, you will need another reference so that the #BoardMaster software can compare both and give you a Pass or Fail.
Congratulations! I still use my Chipmaster and Linearmaster (Serial number 00002!) bought in the nineties and they are still going strong. My System 8 BFL from the same era is still going too, albeit I did move on from the DOS software :)
Merci de votre intérêt. Nous aborderons ces détails dans la série 3, mais vous pouvez d'ores et déjà regarder la vidéo disponible en anglais: ABI Labs, série 3, épisode 2.
Hi there. Thanks for yout enquiry. You can find more information about the equipment on this link: www.abielectronics.co.uk/Products/CompactsProfessional.php If you need other information please send us an email to sales@abielectronics.co.uk and a member of our team will get back to you. Thanks.
Interesting Video!!! I would like to know how REVENG can help in making schematics having SMD Components such as in Packages of SOT23, SC-70, Surface Mount High Density Connectors which have very less spacing between the pins. Also some boards do have Super Caps and Non Volatile RAMs, in that case, how can REVENG help in preparing schematics. As such some cards have these Super Caps to store Data in the RAM or Non Volatile memories which are usually battery backup or Super Caps.
Great questions! With the RevEng you can use a wide range of accessories to connect into all kind of components. The RevEng does not take in consideration the functionality of the devices when checking if there are connections between the different pins of the components on the PCB. Selecting the right part numbers is important just for the drawing of the schematic but not for the testing process, so it does not matter what type of electronic devices you have on the PCB. If you would like to learn more about it, please contact sales@abielectronics.co.uk
Good question! ABI's SYSTEM 8 MIS4, comes along with the Ultimate software, is a faster and more economical solution than using traditional oscilloscope, metering and other bench test instruments, and can quickly produce the required Pass/Fail or other test and debug results.

Algum softwere, ou equipamento para desenvolvimento, tipo assim: Entro com as funções, e recebo como resultado o diagrama esquemático, esquema elétrico?
Rather a coincidence - I was just thinking about this a few days back when trying fault find a rather rare computer without any schematics! Trying to follow a sing,e track amongst about a foot long of parallel traces was hugely error prone. First time I have seen RevEng in action. Well done!
@@ABIElectronics I did indeed see Part 1. It was Part 2 that eventually enlightened me, after many years of wondering, a to how it was actually used! Very interesting.
@@ABIElectronics The videos in the series have been good. The VI testing videos demonstrated how the test is actually conducted which was very insightful.
Hi guys, I absolutely love this test instrument. I've watched the first 6 videos in the series and thus far I noticed that you do most comparison tests, which requires a good known board. This however is not always practical especially for someone working on automobile ECUs for example. So here's my question, Is there a library of *known good* test results that a technician can download, then use those to do the comparison test on the suspect board being worked on? Kinda like how PicoScope has a waveform library that technician can use for the same purpose. I rrealize that this would be a very huge undertaking for a single company to have a library for all PCBs however, do you know of any industry specific company that might have such a library - like the automotive industry for example> It's a ling shot but I figured I'd ask. Maybe some company/s can implement this. What do you think? Patrick
Hey Pat, thank you for your brilliant comment and enthusiasm about that ABI Labs Series. You find the answer to some of your questions on Series 2 (Power-on digital test) and Series 3 (analogue tests). The #BoardMaster comes with a device database that can be used for testing ICs and discrete components without the need for a good sample to be available. We supplied many systems into the ECU repair market and the vast range of exclusive tests available with the BoardMaster is what makes it so useful no matter the circumstance. If you could email your contact details to sales@abielectronics.co.uk we'd be more than happy to connect you with one of our engineers who will be able to give you a demo or clarify these points further. Thank you and apologies to the delay in getting back to you.
