Test Points:
MODEL TEST POINTS M2-Basic 128 max, not expandable M2 152 max, expandable M2-Expansion 128 max, expandable M2-AEX 128 max, expandable M3 152 max, expandable M3-Expansion 128 max, expandable M3-AEX 128 max, expandable
Acquisition Time (±20%, dependent on CPU):
MODEL ACQUISITION TIME M2 and M2-Basic 250 ms at 128 test points M3 with USB Intf 100 ms at 128 test points
USB Interface:
All Models come with a USB interface. Acquisition is 3-4 times as fast as the serial port version.
Resistance Threshold:
M2: 46k ohms, fixed.
M3: 0.5 ohms to 10 Megohms, settable thresholds for conductivity and isolation, able to measure embedded resistors and diodes.
M3 USB: 0.3k ohms to 10 Megohms, settable thresholds for conductivity and isolation, able to measure embedded resistors and diodes.
Test Signals:
M2: 0-5vDC Bidirectional, 0.2ma
Cables are tested using signals comparable to the signals employed in actual use.M3 USB: 0-10vDC Bidirectional, 1ma
Interface Connectors:
All units employ industry-standard 64-pin dual-row latch headers, 0.1" pin spacing. Order identical male headers (Item 851), mating sockets (Item 855), and 64-conductor flat cable (Item 854) for custom interface projects.
MODEL INTERFACE CONNECTORS M2-Basic Two M2 Two plus one 24-pin dual-row header M2-Expansion Two M2-AEX Two (right angle, facing forward) M3 Two plus one 24-pin dual row header M3-Expansion Two M3-AEX Two (right angle, facing forward)
Remote Control Socket:
M2-Basic: (none)
M2: miniDIN8 to extend the TEST pushbutton and the READY, MATCH, and ERROR LED lamps. May also connect a footswitch.M3: (same as M2), plus external test completion signal (sink 200ma current for relay activation).
Wiring schematic appears in the CableEye User's Guide for custom remote control interfaces.
Power Requirements:
MODEL POWER REQUIREMENT M2-Basic 195ma @ 9v DC unregulated M2 195ma @ 9v DC unregulated M2-Expansion 125ma @ 9v DC unregulated M2-AEX 75ma @ 9v DC unregulated M3 250ma @ 15v DC unregulated M3-Expansion 150ma @ 15vDC unregulated M3-AEX 150ma @ 15vDC unregulated
Test Logic: All mathematically possible combinations of test points are measured to exhaustively check wiring connections. Complex networks of wiring, and wiring harnesses with many connector heads, may be measured, stored, and compared to matching wiring even when the graphic image becomes too involved for clear presentation.
Computer Requirements: Windows Version: Any Windows-capable machine with a USB port. Printer is recommended.
Operating System (v5 software):
Windows XP, Vista and 7.
Printer Requirements: Any printer with a Windows driver will suffice. Software driver included for Eltron and Zebra thermal printers.
