SmartScan-Basic:

The BASIC is manually operated system for performing susceptibility scanning at the system level with minimal data storage capability. This system includes:

Up to 6kV pulse generator (occasional 8 kV use is allowed) for ESD susceptibility testing:

"A low cost manual ESD scanner. Users move the ESD probe by hands over a DUT for scan. Failure levels can be recorded by typing in by users. Pictures of probe positions at the failure location can be taken, and included in the record. More..." API's main hardware platform that most scan technologies can be integrated to this platform. 350 or 550 represents the four-axis robot arm size. 350 is a table top model, and 550 is a stand-alone model.

• Camera and camera shutter to take DUT pictures and failing spots.
• Manual input of failing location and failing condition over the DUT and separate table.
• Control computer.

ESD Probes:

• 2mm Hx/y Field Probe
• 5mm Hx/y Field Probe
• D=8mm Hz Field Probe
• D=8mm Ez Field Probe
• Contact API for custom probes

Available Options for the BASIC include:

•  2nd camera to zoom in failure locations and probe positions

 

Table Top

 

Stand Alone

The SmartScan 350/550 series are identify susceptibility problems and includes:

•  6KV pulse generator for ESD susceptibility testing

•  Full 3 dimensional scanner table under software control

   

  

   

  

   

  

  Automatic failure detection

  Fully automated DUT failure detection and power cycle by software control. Any digital or analog signal is monitored in real time

  DUT location camera - The scan area is edited directly on the DUT picture taken by the camera. The software figures out the coordinates, and moves the probe to the defined scan points

API's near field scan solution is implemented using either a 350mm or 550mm 4 axis robot, offering precise control of probe landing points and high speed scan. SmartScan EMI supports standard test of IEC 61976-3 and following core features;
• Wide range of probe selection
 o EMI measurement from below 50 kHz to over 35 GHz
 - Low frequency probe set: 50 kHz ~ 50 MHz with 2mm probe dimension
 - Narrow band probes: GSM (860 MHz, 1950 MHz), WiFi (2400 MHz), etc.
 - Custom probes
• Integrated camera to take DUT pictures
 - Scan points (or areas) are defined over the DUT picture
 - Image stitching for larger DUT's
 - Scan results are displayed over the DUT picture automatically
• Layout file importing
 - ODB files can be imported, and scan points can be defined over the layout layer
• Flexible Scan Area Editor (SAE) module
 - Multiple scan areas with different scan resolutions
 - Points, lines, rectangles, any shape of scan area
• Automatic electrical X-Y offset correction
• Touch sensor to detect component heights
• Continuous run of multiple projects
• Flexible display options
 - 3D, multiple layer, cut-planes, histogram, merging multiple scan results to one display
• Customizable report generation in MS Word or Excel
• Matlab support
• Wizard to assist step by step scan condition set-up
• Optional emission scan technologies include
 o Field calculation
 o Phase measurement
 o Near field to far field transformation (available with phase measurement option)
 o Shielding effectiveness evaluation (SEE) package

 

 

 

The SmartZap is a fully automated zap gun tester with automatic failure detection capability, providing far superior performance than manual zap gun test. It is complying IEC61000-4-2 standard.
