Is it possible for a ProTrack to damage components on my PCB?
Using a Huntron Tracker including the ProTrack will not damage a component under test when using proper techniques. Two advanced and exclusive features of the ProTrack’s ASA are the Smart Tracker Active Range (STAR) and the MaxV (Maximum Voltage) feature. Both these features prevent components from being inadvertently exposed to possibly excessive test current levels (for example, 20 Volts and 10 ohms). The STAR settings were derived from previous Tracker range limitations that have proved to be dependable over the last two decades. The ProTrack’s MaxV feature is an additional built-in test safeguard and is user definable. The ProTrack’s STAR feature is always enabled and cannot be disabled. The STAR feature is designed to limit the maximum power of any test range available at the ProTrack’s output terminals. This feature ensures that especially for special types of power sensitive solid state components, the test range parameters cannot be set to any combination that might overpower t
