Hi all,

There is something that I think is a must, at least for me  , I wish will be in the system the possibility of "Re-probe Component Signatures" because some times I need to scan an entire component after some adjust, for example the height of the probe in order to obtain a better contact with the component, after the adjust I need to do "Re-probe pin Signatures" in every pin and that is very tedious specially in larger components.

Best Regards.

Hi Ernesto,
Currently the best option is just to rescan the component in the regular fashion (select the component in the Tree pane and Scan) but I will certainly forward your request. I can see some definite benefit to your suggestion! Keep them coming.

I would like to see multiple selectable XY Travel blocks on the align tab like there is on the teach tab. Maybe 3 separate ones so I could leave them set on 20, 5, and 1.

I don't have alignment plates for all of the CCAs we test so we have to use the rails and brackets. Even though we set the rail spacing to the same for each CCA, the difference in card alignment can still be quite a bit.

Great suggestion. We have been considering various new layouts for the Prober pane windows for version 4.3 (version 4.2 layout has no more space for additional fields). Adding additional Travel fields certainly worth considering.
Thanks!

Does the most recent version of Workstation give Capacitance / ESR/ Inductance readings.
On Workstation 3.54 using SigAssist you get capacitance & inductance shown when comparing traces.
Not having kept up to date with the latest version I wonder if it is possible to see an instant capacitance / ESR reading.

SigAssist still exists in the current release of Huntron Workstation and is built into the Tracker 2800 and 3200S.

What about ESR?

Excluding all the things the latest version of Workstation 4 can do with Probers, and running ancillary equipment, just how is it better than the last version of Workstation 3?
Just scanning say 128 pins using a ProTrack + scanner or 3200S, with two ranges, which is quicker Workstaion 3 or 4.
And which took longer to fill in the details to carry out a test on 128 pins, two ranges?
