Huntron Tracker?
How useful do y'all find the Huntron Tracker (ie, the 2000 model) in
diagnosing circuits? I have need to troubleshoot power circuits and I've found that diagnosing triacs and such with power off is difficult. Does the Tracker really make diagnosing such components easier? Thanks. |

While I've never used a Tracker, what's difficult about diagnosing triacs? Usually when they fail they short. I often use my Cap Wizard to check for shorted semis, it greatly reduces the effect of chokes and other semis from interfering, though a good capacitor will appear as a short. |

Huntron Tracker?
I used to use a Huntron Tracker. This was many years ago. It is very good
for testing capacitors, and semiconductors. There was a signature kit that could be purchased for the Tracker. It was a little complicated to use. You would be able to compare generated waveforms between two identical circuit boards under test to see where any changes have occurred. -- JANA _____ "Stephanie" wrote in message obal.net...
