Controlled by ABI’s sophisticated SYSTEM 8 Ultimate PC software with a simple yet programmable operator interface, the MIS4 combines eight laboratory instruments: a 3-channel 350MHz digital storage oscilloscope with sophisticated triggering options and automatic measurements, a 1.1GHz frequency counter and three 350MHz counters, a 14-bit dual-channel 25MHz arbitrary waveform function generator, a fully floating ammeter, a fully floating voltmeter, a fully floating ohmmeter, a multi-rail 4-channel power supply, and 8 programmable I/O channels to cover almost any test and measurement need.
The MIS4 Test Station can be used with any PC or a compatible laptop, connected via USB.
The instruments in the MIS4 are all guided by the Windows-based TestFlow Manager, a step by step sequencer software for tests that guides operators during fault-finding or test procedure processes. In addition to controlling the instruments required for a specific test, additional instructions, photos, PDFs, videos and other documents can be included in a custom, user-designed test sequence to make complex test procedures understandable and repeatable. Automatic instrument setup speeds up the test operations and set-by-step test sequences enables rapid operator training.
TestFlow Manager sequential testing reduces the risk of inaccurate measurements and automatically saves all test parameters for a final customized test report. This eliminates subjective operator data interpretation by using automatic comparison of test results. This can free an engineer’s time by allowing semi-skilled operators to run test procedures repeatably and accurately. This results in a much faster and more economical testing solution than using traditional oscilloscope, metering and other bench test methods, and can quickly produce the required Pass/Fail or other test and debug results.
