Overview

The ASA280 is the high-channel-count model in our Analog Signature Analyser line. It shares the ASA200 / ASA240 measurement engine and adds a built-in 80×1 switching multiplexer — double the ASA240's channel count — for large boards and dense production fixtures.

Where the ASA240's 40×2 matrix multiplexes both the signal and 0 V leads independently, the ASA280 routes 80 single-ended channels against a common reference. Pair it with DIP/SO adaptors or a bed-of-nails fixture and step through every test point in software. Gate/bias generator, footpedal inputs and free ASA software are the same as the rest of the P472 platform.

Software

One free app drives the whole range

Free for the life of the instrument — no licence, no per-seat dongle. Plot live signatures, compare a known-good board against the one under test, and export every trace.

ASA26.700 Basic Mode
Live signature view — Plot live V–I signatures and overlay a known-good board against the one under test - the fault jumps straight out of the trace.
ASA26.700 Auto Test Mode
Auto-test node walk — Walk every node against a golden-board reference and get pass / fail with each discrepancy flagged and logged.
