SYSTEM 8 BoardMaster Accessories

Configure your ABI test system for different components, packages and working methods. Our range includes programmable test controls, training equipment, test clips, hands-free probes and out-of-circuit adapters.

SYSTEM 8 SmartSwitch

SYSTEM 8 SmartSwitch is a programmable two-channel USB interface that supports up to four switch inputs. It allows operators to control ABI BoardMaster instruments and TestFlow procedures using foot switches, hand switches, safety buttons, conveyors or compatible sensors.

Designed exclusively for ABI SYSTEM 8 Ultimate software and test equipment, SmartSwitch helps technicians keep their hands and attention on the circuit under test.

Key Benefits

  • Trigger measurements while keeping probes correctly positioned.
  • Start or stop data acquisition without returning to the mouse.
  • Control compatible SYSTEM 8 instruments and TestFlow procedures.
  • Create, save and recall frequently used configuration profiles.
  • Record SmartSwitch settings within repeatable TestFlow procedures.

SYSTEM 8 Training Board

The SYSTEM 8 Training Board is a practical learning platform for BoardMaster. It helps operators develop experience with BoardMaster’s AMS, ATM, BFL, AICT and MIS modules using controlled analogue and digital circuit conditions.

With more than 150 learning functions, the board supports equipment training, fault-diagnosis practice and the development of transferable PCB testing skills.

Key Features

  • More than 150 learning functions
  • Analogue and digital fault-diagnosis exercises
  • Waveform and signal comparison
  • PIC-controlled operation
  • Automatic calculations
  • Training TestFlows and supporting documentation
