CITS880 Controlled Impedance Test System Enables automatic verification of PCB characteristics impedance. Is based on TDR architecture of CITS800, and adds latest generation of control architecture for faster throughput. Combines differential and single-ended measurement of impedance with four channels to provide fast and flexible probe connections. Windows-based software. Automatically logs data and outputs results as customer conformance reports with optional Datalog Report Generator; or exports for real-time SPC. Features multi-point traceable calibration and optional crosstalk testing. Allows users to demonstrate quality conformance to NIST and NPL traceable air-line reference national standards.
