VI curve signature analysis · Curve tracer

Your bench experience, with the signature of every point on the board.

RastreCurve applies a low-energy sine signal to each point of the powered-off board and draws the voltage × current curve. Compare it with a good board, with the memory or with the curve cloud and get to the suspect component faster, even when no schematic is available.

The technology

The “fingerprint” of every point in the circuit

RastreCurve applies a low-energy AC signal to a point on the powered-off board, measures voltage and current and draws the VI curve – the signature of that point. Identical boards have identical signatures: just compare.

  1. 01

    Inject

    Low-energy sine signal with a series impedance that limits current and protects the circuit.

  2. 02

    Measure

    Voltage (X axis) and current (Y axis) form the curve: resistors, capacitors, diodes and ICs each draw their own shape.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Good board × faulty board, or memory × real board, with percentage difference and visual and audible alerts.

Product line

Four models, one principle

Bench models connected to the computer, with standardized test profiles and photo projects; and portable models with their own screen, battery and free adjustment of frequency, voltage and impedance.

Why technicians choose RastreCurve

Board powered off

Diagnosis without power: safe for the technician and the board.

With or without schematics

Schematics help; when there are none, point-by-point comparison still works.

Any board

Analog, digital, power, automotive, industrial, TV, audio.

Board memory

Record the good board once and test the next ones pin by pin.

Curve cloud

Over a thousand projects shared by the community.

Speed

Less time searching and fewer parts replaced by trial and error.

Applications

  • Automotive (ECU, ABS, clusters)
  • Industrial (PLC, inverters, CNC)
  • TVs and monitors (T-CON, panel)
  • Audio and amplifiers
  • Appliances and air conditioning
  • IT and telecom
