The Linearmaster Compact from ABI is a hand held Linear IC tester which will identify and functionally verify a wide range of devices including operational amplifiers, voltage regulators, analogue switches, optoisolators, DACs/ADCs, transistor arrays, virtual ground, etc. Using the Linearmaster is simplicity itself. The IC is simply inserted into the device via the ZIF socket. The unit then applies the necessary analogue signals to the inputs of the IC measuring the output voltages at each stage and comparing them with the expected values. Any discrepancy results in a FAIL indication and the faulty pins are shown on the integral LCD display. Additional facilities are also provided, amongst them test loops that can be used for goods inwards inspection, detecting intermittent faults or simply providing a rapid method of exercising any IC for demonstration or educational purposes. Also provided is a SEARCH facility to identify unknown ICs. Since the Linearmaster Compact contains an extensive library, it is not necessary to program the unit yourself other than to key in the IC number.

Ideally suited to service centres or educational establishments wishing to perform fast, accurate fault finding on Linear Circuits
The unit is powered by 2x PP3 batteries (supplied) (see Batteries section for suitable replacement) or may alternatively be powered by a suitable adaptor (see Power Supplies section)
