The ABI BoardMaster Universal PCB Test Solution is a means for insuring component and module performance equivalency in this age of shortages and long lead times. ABI BoardMaster is a unique, versatile, self-contained, and easy-to-use electronics test system, housed in a convenient 19” rack case. It is an all-in-one unit featuring a comprehensive set of built-in test instruments, complete with a built-in Windows 10 PC and special software, for testing almost any kind of IC, PCB, or assembly. When components or modules become unavailable, component engineers need to assess whether a replacement part will perform as identically as the original, or even works as per the spec sheet. This is especially important in medical or military equipment that has been through a lengthy and costly approval processes. Compliance engineers need to sign off on the correct performance of a possible replacement product. Conventional component compliance/equivalency testing often relies on an engineer’s assessment of a spec sheet, perhaps with the additional use of standard equipment like oscilloscopes, DMMs, or even just putting the component in a product to see if it works ‘correctly’. These methods are hard to automate and are subjective between different operators. A critical issue is the ability to make accurate and bias-free measurements. The results of equivalency testing should be repeatable with different operators, even at different locations. Assessing a manufactured electronic circuit board, module, or replacement component needs to consider not only the quality of the product, but also subtle performance qualities.
