The GenRad TS8X 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 TS8X 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 a system.
The primary difference between the smallest TS80 system (1,280 pins max) and the largest TS87LX (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 16 years??? experience working with GenRad TS8X 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.
TS80 / TS81
The base TS80 through TS87 platforms are identical and the only difference between the systems are the number of active pin board slots, the number of auxiliary slots and the types of pin boards installed. The TS80 uses the Combo IA pin board (16 real pins / 128 muxed pins) while the TS81 uses the Combo IIA pin board (32 real pins / 128 muxed pins).
Both systems have a total of 10 pin board slots that allow for a maximum of 1,280 test pins and 5 auxiliary slots. These models came standard from the factory with 5 pin boards in the base configuration. Each of these systems can have up to a maximum of 14 Alliance power supplies installed.
TS83 / TS84
These models were available in 4 base system configurations; 1) 15 pin board slots; 2) 15 pin board slots and 5 Auxiliary slots; 3) 20 pin board slots; or 4) 20 pin board slots and 10 auxiliary slots. The TS83 uses the Combo IA pin board (16 real pins / 128 muxed pins) while the TS84 uses the Combo IIA pin board (32 real pins / 128 muxed pins).
Both systems can have between 10 and 20 pin board slots that allow for a maximum of 2,560 test pins and up to 10 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.
TS86 / TS87
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 TS86 uses the Combo IA pin board (16 real pins / 128 muxed pins) while the TS87 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.
TS87L / TS87LX
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 TS87L 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 TS87LX 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.
