Agilent / HP / Keysight 5006A
5006A Signature Analyzer
Description
This Analyzer has high accuracy signature analyzer troubleshoots digital circuits for applications in production test and repair, depot repair, or field service.
The analyzer finds faults by tracing signal flow and measuring signatures (16-bit cyclic redundancy codes generated for blocks of data) that are compared to printouts or computer stored signatures.
Errors are quickly detected by comparing signatures, not entire bit streams.
The 5006A employs patented signature analysis technique to generate a compressed, four digit signature of a digital data stream at a logic node.
Any fault associated with a device connected to the node will force a change in the data stream, and produce an erroneous signature.
