Aim I-prober 520 - a breakthrough in current measurement technology ! A technology breakthrough The I-prober 520 achieves something radically new. It can observe and measure currents in PCB tracks and other conductors where conventional current probes can’t be used. This includes captive wires into components, the legs of integrated circuits, and PCB ground planes.

Observe & measure currents in PCB tracks, captive component leads & ground planes Current measurement techniques Engineering a Solution True measurement of current requires the circuit to be broken and a current measurement device inserted (e.g. a shunt that converts current to voltage). However, breaking the circuit is impractical in many circumstances and, in the case of PCB tracks, may be impossible.

Aim I-prober 520 - a innovative and flexible measurement tool The I-prober 520 in use The magnitude of the signal from a positional current probe is critically related to its position relative to the conductor. The size of the conductor (e.g. the width of a PCB track) also has a significant effect. This means that the sensitivity of the I-prober has to be adjusted to match the track width when quantitative measurements are required.
