Probes handle LED board test
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 9/1/2005
Optomistic Products has introduced a range of sensors and probes that serve as optical counterparts to electrical probes in printed-circuit-board test applications. The products check for color and intensity on circuit-board-mounted LEDs. Through embedded digital signal processing, they provide the unambiguous detection and indication of any LED color—from near UV, through the visual range, and down to near IR. The probes offer a choice of 13 probe tips, including very fine 1.2-mm and 2.1-mm diameter tips for inspecting close-spaced LEDs. Models are available with USB interfaces, including software.
Base price: $53 each in production quantities. Optomistic Products, www.optomisticproducts.com.
