Creating Essential Documentation for Existing Equipment

Maintenance and repair of electronic equipment have suffered from and continue to suffer from a lack of circuit diagrams. This shortage has been caused by a combination of actions that have included restrictive practices, company changes, increased use of products of various newer technologies, and manufacturers who disappear.

A restrictive practice situation occurs when the only support available is through a single OEM or the supplier. This creates a non competitive situation where the customer cannot seek an alternative provider. Whilst this may not be a bad situation for the customer, it does mean there is a lack of choice and a reliance on a single source of support.
There is the growing situation where no support is available as companies have been taken over, restructured or gone out of business. In the past 10 years this has happened to many famous and long established companies. This means there is no protection against these problems by choosing products from “reputable” companies.


There has been a dramatic increase in the use of electronics in all areas of industry and commerce. This has led to a corresponding increase in awareness to the cost of maintenance and support. Whilst the OEM or the supplier may be responsible for the installation and warranty, the customer will want the option to choose a different ongoing support solution.

The rapid acceleration of change in technology has given another dimension to the problems. There are many situations where products are made obsolete long before the useful life is complete. Frequently, these products are no longer manufactured or supported. A standard response from many suppliers is to offer an upgrade to the latest product or the nearest equivalent product. When the equipment is to be used within a large system, this solution can be unacceptable if the replacement is not totally compatible.

When products have to be returned to an overseas company for repair, the user is then faced with very high costs, extended repair time and loss of independence.

The Solution

RevEng is an exclusive system from ABI Electronics for the generation of professional circuit diagrams and schematics from an existing PCB. RevEng represents a safe, modern and accurate way of achieving professional schematics through a user-friendly, software led process where operators are guided from start to finish.  RevEng users who previously spent days, sometimes weeks, creating schematics using the traditional method (multimeter, pen and paper) from an existing PCB, have achieved huge savings in time and can now complete the job in just a few hours!

Mike Rizzo (Rigol USA GM) Visits Saelig in Fairport NY

Great to have a visit at Saelig today from Rigol USA’s General Manager Mike Rizzo, who discussed new products coming next year featuring Rigol’s new superfast Phoenix chipset (http://snip.ly/jx4l2)

There are three chips in the Phoenix chipset (each named after stars in the Phoenix Constellation).  The Analog Front End Chip(named Beta Phoenicis) will allow for front end bandwidth of 4GHz with highly integrated capability allowing for simplified and highly reliable front end design.  The Signal Processing Chip (named Ankaa) supports 10GSa/s sampling with bandwidth up to 6GHz and the Probe Amplifier Chip (named Gamma Phoenicis) will support a 6GHz Active Differential probe.  The ASICs are based entirely on RIGOL IP and were developed entirely inhouse.
"Over the past 19 years RIGOL has proven ourselves to be an innovator in the Basic and Value segments of the Oscilloscope market" stated Rico Wang, President of RIGOL Technologies, "but with the introduction of this new chip set, developed through years of painstaking research and development, RIGOL will now be able to bring the RIGOL value proposition to more performance oriented applications."
The Phoenix Chipset enables RIGOL to revolutionize its scope performance with the new UltraVision II architecture.  These enhancements will lead to products with significantly faster waveform capture rates, new filtering and triggering capabilities, and unprecedented memory depths and search capabilities.  When combined with the HW performance of the Phoenix Chipset, Ultravision II will transform the customer value proposition in the 1-4GHz oscilloscope market.
At the chipset launch review in Suzhou China RIGOL demonstrated its prototype scope utilizing Phoenix and Ultravision II.  With 4GHz Bandwidth, 20GSa/sec realtime sample rate and 1 Billion point memory depth it shows that there will soon be a new player in the performance oscilloscope market.
Mike Rizzo, General Manager of RIGOL North America says, "We are very excited for the introduction of products utilizing the new Phoenix chipset.  It will allow us to bring our unique RIGOL price performance value proposition to a new class of customers needing advanced instrument performance and application support.  RIGOL will formally announce our first products utilizing the Phoenix Chipset before the end of 2017 with initial customer shipments planned in Q4 2017."-

Executive Interview: Thorsten Chmielus, CEO of Aaronia AG

http://www.microwavejournal.com/articles/26038-executive-interview-thorsten-chmielus-ceo-of-aaronia

Microwave Journal recently included an interview with Aaronia CEO Thorsten Chmielus.


He started his first business at 15, dropped out of school and now runs a successful, innovative company. His engineering education was not what would be termed "conventional."  


"I started my first business when I was just 15 years old, as I have always been interested in electronics and PCs. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a garage at home, so my bedroom was the place for my creative development. I also tried to start several graduate studies but I finished none of them. I was completely bored by the subjects and didn’t find them innovative and up to date. So I preferred to start my own business and have the freedom of doing the things I liked the most and turning my inspiration in the direction I wanted to go.

It was the time of the Commodore C64. After a while, I felt the urge to program for myself, which led me to build and program hardware and software for my Sinclair ZX81. The first measurement equipment I invented was an AD modifier for the ZX81 with “unbelievably” 8 bits!

Our first production of the HF-Detektor (a broadband RF meter) opened the way for the company to be what it has become today. From this kind of meter, we have progressed to our most popular products: our SPECTRAN spectrum analyzers. We were the first in the world offering a REAL handheld spectrum analyzer, while some companies insist their 10 kg analyzers are “handheld” analyzers, too.  As well as our SPECTRAN analyzer, our antennas are in great demand. They are sold to and listed by many big brands, like Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz and Viavi Solutions.

We have so many ideas but, unfortunately, we can’t realize all of them because of a shortage of staff. Only 20 percent of our ideas can be realized at the moment.  Aaronia is primarily known for its spectrum analyzers, which are based on a patented spectrum analyzer process.   It’s not only one patent; there are 12 patents on it!

Our Stectran V5 is the world’s first and only handheld real-time spectrum analyzer and offers a real-time bandwidth of up to 175 MHz. Furthermore, we offer real-time I/Q streaming via USB, a very fast sweep mode, which scans 20 GHz in less than 20 ms, and we can offer ultra-fast LO sweeps (μs DDS sweep). Also, the analyzer is extremely compact and lightweight, and the touch display has a high resolution. Together with our recording software RTSA Suite, the SPECTRAN V5 is becoming an unbeatable team. I think it will inspire every engineer, semi and professional user.

Irish Rail Setting up an In-house Electronics Repair Facility

   ... the best way to control maintenance costs.  

                   

        

Ireland's rail network has been in place for almost 150 years. The network is run by Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail and supports the country's economic and social development, providing accessible transport to many destinations. Approximately 42 million passenger journeys were completed on the network in 2016, which is returning to the levels achieved at the height of the boom in 2007. The network and services however all require significant state funding to continue its operation.

During the recent economic downturn, the funding for the operation and maintenance of the rail network was reduced significantly. Although it is starting to recover to a more sustainable level, the funding gap continues to present huge challenges.
One of the alternatives found by the Irish Rail to cope with the funding gap was to introduce an electronics repair and maintenance lab to support the company’s rolling stock in Drogheda. After its successful implementation in recent years, the repair facility accumulated savings of 4 million Euros in 2016 alone to the Irish Rail. As a result, the company’s management approved further investment in dedicated troubleshooting, repair and reverse engineering equipment in late 2017.

ABI Electronics is the original manufacturer of the world’s popular BoardMaster. The product is a unique, versatile and cost-effective system that allows rail organizations to repair and maintain their electronic sub-assemblies internally. After visiting ABI’s premises in South Yorkshire, the Electronic Repair Facility Manager from Irish Rail, Ray Holden, explained why the company decided to work with ABI:
“I have found the smaller OEM suppliers to the rail industry seem to be bought over by the big 3 rail suppliers. Once this happens your option to send faulty components to the OEM for repair seems to get hit with very long delays, with repairs taking up to 5 or 6 months to come back. Within a very short time, the new owners will refuse to repair your equipment and suggest you either pay for development cost for replacement equipment or, if they have stock on hands, you will find that it has inflated prices sometimes by 300%.

With regards to the quality of work provided by external organizations and the impact delays have on the company's bottomline, Mr. Holden added: In my experience, some of the OEM repairs leave a lot to be desired from a quality point of view. Irish Rail is a “small” rail network but has some of the most modern rolling stock in Europe. This can cause issues with suppliers putting you at the end of a long list for repairs. Delays cost money and the money comes from the Tax Payer. We have a duty to provide a service at the best cost. Setting up an in-house Electronics Repair Facility is the best way to control costs as regards to repairables. The challenges are funding for projects, training and equipment. I have to say that Irish Rail's CEO David Franks and Chief Mechanical Engineer Peter Smyth are keen to support such in-house repairs, investment in high quality equipment. I was over with ABI Electronics last week and I was more than impressed with their equipment and professionalism. What they offer is truly amazing.”

In October 2017, ABI Electronics was awarded a contract for the supply of a range of solutions including the BoardMaster, RevEng and JTAGMaster. ABI will also provide certified training for team working at the Drogheda DMU Depot.

With this investment, the electronic support team will be able to offer higher level services aimed at new as well as legacy trains.

 

DeepMeasure Finds Needles!

The DeepMeasure analysis tool in PicoScope 6 software finds needles in haystacks with PicoScope 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 oscilloscopes!

DeepMeasure delivers automatic measurement of waveform parameters on up to a million successive waveform cycles. Results can be easily sorted, analyzed and correlated with the waveform display.

As electronic devices become more complex, design engineering teams need better tools to record, analyze and visualize waveform data and measurement statistics. Most digital oscilloscopes provide automated measurements of common parameters such as frequency, period, rise and fall times, duty cycle, and maximum and minimum voltages, but the measurements are usually limited to a single complete waveform cycle captured in the oscilloscope memory. Subsequent waveform cycles in the same acquisition are displayed on the screen but are discarded from the measurement results. Measurement statistics (max/min/average/sum) have to be compiled over multiple acquisitions, and irregular bit patterns are easily missed or ignored.

Oscilloscopes with deep capture memory, such as the PicoScope 3000 Series (512 MSamples) and 6000 Series (2 GSamples) can capture waveforms with thousands of waveform cycles, at full sampling speed with each triggered acquisition. DeepMeasure returns a table of results that includes every waveform cycle captured in the memory. Ten waveform parameters are included in the first version of the tool and over a million results of each parameter can be collected.

The table of captured results can be sorted by each parameter in ascending or descending order, enabling engineering teams to spot anomalies and rapidly identify the cause of complicated issues. So, for example, click on the Rise Time column heading and you can quickly find the fastest (or slowest) rise time out of up to 1 million cycles of the waveform. Double-clicking on a specific measurement highlights the corresponding cycle in the oscilloscope view.

For more extensive analysis, such as histograms and advanced data visualization, the table of measurements can be exported for use with tools such as Excel and MATLAB.

“Visualizing real-world test data is key to solving many of today’s engineering challenges,” explained Trevor Smith, Business Development Manager, Test & Measurement, at Pico Technology. “DeepMeasure is a powerful tool that takes advantage of PicoScope deep memory oscilloscopes to enable rapid analysis and debug of complex waveforms ranging from serial data streams to laser pulses and particle physics experiments. Anomalies can be easily pinpointed and correlated with other events captured by the oscilloscope.”

PicoScope with DeepMeasure is free of charge for users of PicoScope 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 Series oscilloscopes. The beta version can be downloaded now from https://www.picotech.com/downloads.

Recreating Undocumented PCBs

Remanufacturing an obsolete circuit board in the absence of relevant documentation is made easier with this unique hardware/software system.

THE PROBLEM

Imagine you are confronted with an obsolete or undocumented circuit board from some vital piece of equipment and the situation requires that product function again, or maintains production until a drastic redesign has occurred. But there exists no BOM, no layouts, and no schematics. What if you have been tasked to redesign a portion of a board that contains obsolete components, and you don’t have documentation as a guide? Equipment that is no longer manufactured or supported by the original supplier is an increasingly pressing problem for users and maintainers of long life systems such as water and electricity utilities, medical equipment, military systems, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, avionics simulation, traffic control, trains, and signaling.

For systems with an operational life of 25 years or more, the support strategy for spares and repairs are critical issues. Famous and long established companies are being taken over, restructured, or go out of business, leading to the growing situation where no support is available. Rapidly changing technology increases support and manufacturing problems. Many commercial products quickly become obsolete (try buying the same PC motherboard after only six months ….) and are not supported or manufactured long before the end of their true operating life. And although many consumer products are replaced rather than repaired, this approach cannot be applied to long-life systems.

A standard solution from many suppliers is an upgrade to the latest product or its nearest equivalent. But when a product is part of a large system that has been through rigorous certification, this solution is unacceptable unless the replacement is physically and functionally identical (form/fit/function). Changing to a new component may mean the enormous expense of requalifying the whole system for critical equipment such as medical diagnostic machines.

Now In Stock: Wireless 30MHz Scope-In-A-Probe!

The IkaScope WS200 is a pen-shaped battery-powered wireless oscilloscope that streams captured signals to almost any WiFi-connected screen.  The IkaScope WS200 offers a 30MHz bandwidth with its 200MSa/s sampling rate and the maximum input is +/-40Vpp.  It provides galvanically-isolated measurements even when a USB connection is charging the internal battery.  The IkaScope WS200 will work on desktop computers (Windows, Mac, and Linux) as well as on mobile devices like tablets or smartphones (iOS and Android Q4 2017).  The free application software can be downloaded for whichever platform is needed.

The IkaScope WS200 has no power switch; it detects pressure on the probe tip and turns on automatically.  Patented ProbeClick technology saves battery life: all power-consuming circuitry is only turned on when the probe tip is pressed, and the IkaScope WS200 automatically shuts down completely after a short period of non-use. The internal 450mAh battery lasts about one week with daily regular use before recharging is necessary. An isolated USB connection allows for recharging the internal battery and two LEDs in the unit indicate battery charge and WiFi status.

Clicking the Autoset button on the IkaScope software automatically adjusts gain and time-base to quickly view the signal optimally.  The IkaScope WS200 also knows when to measure and when to hold the signal display without the need for a Run/Stop button. The IkaScope's innovative Automatic History feature saves a capture of the signal when releasing pressure on the ProbeClick tip.  The History Database is divided into Current Session and Favorites, where signal captures are permanently saved, even after the application is closed.  Previously measured signals can quickly be recalled.  

Most desktop oscilloscopes have a static reference grid with a fixed number of divisions, but the IkaScope allows pinch and zoom on touch screens (or zoom in/out with a mouse wheel), stretching the grid and allowing an operator to move and zoom through a signal capture for detailed review.  The associated software even has a share button on the screen: simply click on it to share screenshot measurements.   

  

Made by Ikalogic, a growing European embedded test equipment manufacturer, the CE/FCC/RoHS-certified IkaScope WS200 Oscilloscope is small (6.4” x 1.3” x 0.7”) and very lightweight (2 oz.) and is ideal for every traveling toolbox.
