Testing Digital
Connectivity
Digital Tracer is a digital testing tool which allows you to test the connectivity of digital
component leads to the board-under-test via a hand held probe. Once Digital Tracer has
been enabled in the software, it stops a test when it locates a failing device and shows a
representation of the device on the screen.
During the tracer process, you orient the device if it is not oriented properly, probe the
component pins of the device (Initial Pass), and probe each tied pin individually (Second
Pass—optional).
At the end of the probing, pin graphics which remain the same color in the
monitor’sgraphic display show the location of opens. That information is sent to output
devices specified in the program.
For information on enabling Digital Tracer in the software, see the “Digital Tracer” section
in Chapter 9 “Test and Debug Tools” in the Z1800-Series Programmer’s Guidebook.
Important:
Digital Tracer is not available for the Z1805.
