I think you already did the last time I looked at it (Back a few years).
I remember the name Siganalysis; You're in Cyprus. You like the thing.
It's the best Analogue Signature Analyser out there.
Here's the one thing I really want to know. Do Diagnosys supply much in
the way of probes and leads with it, or do they like to rip you off for
these parts?
The thing is, the ABI kit offers In circuit test on Analogue & Digital
chips. They have mainly the European/American brands in the software
(National, Motorola, etc) whereas I seem to meet a lot of Japanese Stuff
(Hitctchi, NEC, Fujitsu). I was really hoping for someone with the ABI
System 8 to tell me if it's any use. It also does V/I. There is a split
between Analogue & Digital units in ABI's gear that I don't understand.
Why do they not say that an alalogue v/i unit will check digital chips,
or vice versa? I have the feeling they may have thrown everything in
three times and done nothing right.
One real piece of crap out there is the Huntron Tracker, and not cheap
either, unless you buy secondhand from the many people wanting to see
the back of them. Their blurb is every bit as convincing. But I haven't
found a System 8 (ABI) or InterV3(Diagnosys) out there secondhand, or
I'd have jumped at it.
In theory the ABI kit should be a better choice. But I have my
suspicions.
