Pickering eBirst Switching System Diagnostic Test Tools
Verification and Diagnosis of a complex switching operation in a test system has always been an issue. The Pickering eBirst Diagnostic Test Tool provides you with a quick and simple way of finding relay failures within our switch systems.
The Pickering eBIRST Test Tools quickly determine if a Switching System has faults, identifies the location of the fault at relay level and allows the user to take fast corrective action, ultimately saving repair costs and minimizing the downtime of the switching system. By the use of four eBIRST Test Tools and a set of interface adaptors, any of our PXI, PCI and LXI controlled Switching Systems that use mechanical relays with precious metal contacts (typically contacts with a rating of 2A or less) or solid state relays are supported. DC coupled RF systems using SMB connectors are supported thru the use of test adaptors. Each tool is generic and will support DC coupled switching systems that use multi-way connectors. The tools work by measuring the DC path resistance at the switching system connectors, quickly establishing if the path is good, has increased resistance, or has failed. The eBIRST tools are self-contained, all you need is a USB2 port on a PC running Windows® and the supplied application program. The breadth of Pickering Interfaces switching systems supported by eBIRST is being continually expanded in response to user requests.
Features:
- Quickly determine if your switching system has faults
- Identify where that fault is located at relay level so you can take fast corrective action
- Save on repair costs
- Minimize downtime of the switching system
