The GenRad 228Xi series of test systems were designed so that all hardware options (with the exception of pin boards) could be used across the entire family of 228Xi models. This is very advantageous to an end-user that needs to reconfigure multiple systems on their production floor to meet each customer???s unique product requirements.
There are several plug-in hardware options available for this family of systems; the Analog Functional Test Module (AFTM) with an AC/DC Voltmeter, an AC/DC source, a Time/Frequency Interval meter and an instrument Multiplexer, the Deep Serial Memory (DSM) used for ISP and flash programming, and a Custom Function Board (CFB) that can be configured with a range of instruments (FTI, VCI) to provide incremental functional test capability. The AFTM, DSM and CFB each require one pin board slot when installed in the system except in the 2283i and 2284i systems where they are plugged into any of the five available auxiliary slots.
The primary difference between the smallest 2280i system (1,408 pins max) and the largest 2287LX (7,680 pins max) is the scalability in terms of number of total test pins, types and quantities of pin boards used and the number of real driver/senor pins in the system.
TEAM A.T.E. has over 18 years??? experience working with GenRad 228Xi Series test systems. Whether you need to purchase, rent, sell, reconfigure, repair or calibrate a tester, we are a one stop shop. Our engineers have been factory trained by the O.E.M. and we utilize the exact same manufacturing processes to ensure system reliability and quality.
GR 2280i / GR 2281i
These models were GenRad???s low cost entries into the high performance in-circuit test market. The base platforms are identical and the only difference between the two systems is the type of pin board installed. The GR 2280i uses the Combo IA pin board (16 real pins / 128 muxed pins) while the GR 2281i uses the Combo IIA pin board (32 real pins / 128 muxed pins).
Both systems have a total of 11 pin board slots that allow for a maximum of 1,408 test pins. These models came standard from the factory with 7 pin boards and an AFTM as a base configuration. Each of these systems can have up to a maximum of 7 Alliance power supplies installed.
GR 2283i / GR 2284i
These models were GenRad???s midrange entries into the high performance in-circuit test market. The base platforms are identical and the only difference between the two systems is the type of pin board installed. The GR 2283i uses the Combo IA pin board (16 real pins / 128 muxed pins) while the GR 2284i uses the Combo IIA pin board (32 real pins / 128 muxed pins).
Both systems have a total of 15 pin board slots that allow for a maximum of 1,920 test pins and 5 auxiliary slots to allow for options to be added without reducing the pin count total. Each model came standard from the factory with 5 pin boards in the base configuration. These systems can have up to 14 Alliance power supplies installed in two Alliance power supply racks.
GR 2286i / GR 2287i
These models were GenRad???s primary offering into the high performance in-circuit test market. The base platforms are identical for both systems and the only difference between the two systems is the type of pin board installed. The GR 2286i uses the Combo IA pin board (16 real pins / 128 muxed pins) while the GR 2287i uses the Combo IIA pin board (32 real pins / 128 muxed pins).
Both systems have a total of 30 pin board slots that allow for a maximum of 3,840 test pins. Both models came standard from the factory with 5 pin boards installed as a base configuration. These systems can have up to 14 Alliance power supplies installed in two Alliance power supply racks.
GR 2287L / GR 2287LX
These models were GenRad???s primary offering into the high performance high pin count in-circuit test market. The base platforms are identical for both systems and the only difference between the two systems is the type of pin board installed. The GR 2287L uses both the HDC-1 pin board (32 real pins / 256 muxed pins) and Combo IIA pin board (32 real pins / 128 muxed pins) while the GR 2287LX uses only the HDC-2 pin board (64 real pins / 256 muxed pins).
Both systems have a total of 30 pin board slots that allow for a maximum of 7,680 test pins. Both models came standard from the factory with 5 pin boards installed as a base configuration. These systems can have up to 14 Alliance power supplies installed in two Alliance power supply racks.
