Mass TransitDefenceIndustrialPinPoint UDA

In the UDA (Universal Design Architecture) format, the PinPoint technology is available in an industry standard 19” rack-mounted format. Applied as a diagnostic sub-system, the PinPoint UDA provides diagnostic capabilities in the form of a smart LXI-type instrument.

With the ability to process and update test results from any functional test system, the PinPoint UDA makes an ideal diagnostic sub-system for integration with any functional test system. Alternatively, the PinPoint UDA provides a convenient format and powerful controller for those applications requiring the close integration of PXI, VXI or GPIB instrumentation whilst retaining digital test and diagnostic capabilities.

Engineers

PinPoint UDA is a core system with modular configuration options providing a common test platform for different test requirements:

  • Common training
  • Common documentation
  • Flexibility of labour
  • Shared experiences

The PinPoint UDA provides the best no compromise test coverage through multiple test techniques, providing you with absolute confidence in your testing. It allows you to choose from the many test techniques available and structure them together seamlessly to form a complete test program in the graphic TestFlow software.

PinPoint UDA allows for the test of multiple different units on one system, and tests all types of device technology using advanced pin electronics. It has a flexible and expandable technical capability to test current and future modules and circuits, and multiple test techniques include functional edge on modules and circuits with excellent fault finding capability. These multiple test strategies mean that maximum fault coverage is achieved.

Test methods include in-circuit, functional edge, boundary scan, cluster, analog, mixed signal, Analog signature (VI), CPU assisted, fixtureless, Bed-of-Nails, reverse schematic generation, edge connector and module connector

PinPoint UDA is intuitive and fast to learn. Interactive documentation and help facilities are included in the software, along with an extensive library of device functional test routines including Western and Russian devices.
It provides integral reverse engineering of schematic diagrams for testing circuits that don’t have information. Maintenance and calibration instructions are included in the system documentation to ensure your system provides best no compromise test coverage. The system has up to 240 digital dynamic test channels, and up to 15MHz data rate. High and consistent data rates ensure a more thorough testing of a device to find more faults.

The system allows you to find more faults through built-in DMM, waveform generator, oscilloscope, counter-time, shorts locator, Performance Test Module, LCR bridge, Analog Signature Analysis and programmable power supplies.

PinPoint UDA conforms to the Defence Standard 00-53 for safe testing of any device.  It easily integrates with third party instrumentation for extended analog functional testing. The graphical test program uses 'C' code.  It enables immediate graphic programming of instruments with VISA drivers, and Instrument Strategizer allows you to program external instruments graphically, and to create complete test sequences quickly and easily. 

TestVue™ software

The TestVue™ software platform, used on PinPoint II, offers a powerful array of features including TestFlow™, Analog virtual instruments, SeaWave and a simple intuitive user interface.

Technical Directors

Diagnosys has developed test strategies and products to ensure that the diagnostic process can be achieved rapidly and accurately with neglible risk. PinPoint UDA is a core system with modular configuration options providing a common test platform for different test requirements:

  • Common training
  • Common documentation
  • Flexibility of labour
  • Shared experiences

 

PinPoint UDA has a flexible and expandable technical capability for testing current and future modules and circuits, protecting investment in hardware and especially test program software. It allows the test of multiple different units on one system, with multiple test techniques including functional edge on modules and circuits with excellent fault finding capability. Ideal for use on all levels of complexity, size and technology circuits.

The system captures the knowledge in a test program, releasing skilled staff for where they are needed most. It enables fast test programming and a quick learning curve for rapid integration into the test and maintenance environment. Test programs can be shared across the rest of the TestVue product range (subject to suitable system configuration). The Test Results Server (option) allows sharing of data with functional test systems and re-work areas or for off-line analysis. It is capable of full test data logging with a history of boards, and has an ATML interface for reading diagnostic information and returning the cause of the failure.

PinPoint UDA provides a complete test and diagnostic system within a small footprint. It is a reliable and robust system that is in use worldwide. Comprehensive training is available with standard and advanced courses. Tailored training is also available to meet your individual requirements. The system is easily upgradeable to cater for future circuits, and cost effective support options ensure your system is always available and using the latest software enhancements.

Diagnosys test programming services ensure that your system is immediately ready for use or support you through workload peaks, giving you maximum test coverage.

 

Finance Directors

Technology, finance and time constraints today mean that a test system must have powerful capability and functionality. PinPoint UDA is a core system with modular configuration options providing a common test platform for different test requirements:

  • Common training
  • Common documentation
  • Flexibility of labour
  • Shared experiences

With PinPoint UDA you achieve low through-life costs with tailored support packages ensure the system is always available and using the latest software. It has a flexible and expandable technical capability for testing current and future modules and circuits, protecting your investment in hardware and especially test program software.

Multiple test strategies ensure excellent test coverage and fault finding allowing you to provide quality products to your customers and minimise unnecessary re-work. Faults in a circuit are identified correctly meaning less re-work and ensuring working product in the field.  PinPoint UDA, with its complete test programming services, smooth's peaks in workload, allowing you to meet targets.

A typical support package from Diagnosys provides full hardware, software and applications support for x% of the system purchase price, and with full training and application support, you can be sure the system is fully utilised.

Purchase plans are available to spread the investment payments, enabling you to get the most out of your system.
