Control boards used in home electric appliance and industrial equipment undergo functional tests at shipping and incoming inspections. The 6146/6156 can be used as embedded power source in a board tester, applying voltage to a board under test and applying voltage or current as pseudo sensor signal. As the 6146/6156 stabilizes its output values with a settling time of 10 ms or less, the time of a multi-item test can be reduced. In addition, the 6146/6156 is equipped with GPIB and USB interfaces for remote control as standard, allowing highly flexible system architect.
The 6146/6156 supplies power and applies voltage as pseudo sensor signal to the board under test. The 6146 has a minute voltage resolution of 1μV and the 6156 has that of 100nV. Thus, the 6146/6156 can be used as a substitute for sensor signal and make correct PASS/ FAIL judgment on the board.
