What is Talon-Curve? |
|
|
| |
A
portable instrument that enables you to
troubleshoot electronic equipment in a powered down state.
Simply place the leads across a component and the meter will
display a graph allowing you to
identify the type and range of each component tested. A helpful capture feature allows you to quickly
compare the current component in test to a like component that
was previously tested. |

Why is Talon-Curve
superior to standard multi-meters? |
|
|
| |
A
Multi-Meters measures the static value of an isolated component.
The Talon-Curve meter tests the function of a component while
still in-circuit. |

Resistors: |
|
 |
|
When testing a resistor, the standard multi-meter puts a
single current value through the component while measuring
the voltage, calculating the resistance, and displaying
the value. If the resistor is in-circuit the multi-meter
test current is affected by other components such as
capacitors and diodes. |
|
|
The Talon-Curve meter applies a continually changing
current. Since a resistor is linear, every increase in
current should produce an increase in voltage resulting
in a straight line on the graph display. If a
capacitor is bleeding off some of the current, simply
change the frequency (or speed) of the signal to bring out
the linear nature of the resistor. |

Capacitors &
Inductors: |
|
 |
|
When testing a capacitor, the standard multi-meter
determines the capacitor's value by measuring the time it
takes to charge or discharge it to a certain voltage.
While in-circuit, a parallel resistance consumes some of
that current, and the extra time needed is assumed to be a
larger capacitor. |
|
|
The Talon-Curve meter takes advantage of the capacitor
needing time to charge up to a given voltage; the
constantly changing current and voltage displays on the
screen as a circle. The Talon-Curve meter can
automatically adjust the source resistance and frequency
to simplify the range finding process. Testing for inductors is
performed similarly and will feature the same circle profile. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Diodes: |
|
 |
|
When testing a diode, the standard multi-meter puts a
single current value through the component producing a
single voltage reading. The probes then have to be
moved to opposite sides of the part for a second reading. |
|
|
The Talon-Curve meter shows the corresponding voltage for
each current reading without having to move the probes in
a quick display graph. If the component is working
properly, the typical reverse "L" shape is seen. The
Talon-Curve meter can even confirm zener diodes working
properly, which is beyond the range of a standard multi-meter. |

The
Talon-Curve meter is great at showing the function of parts
in-circuit.
An excellent example is a diode in parallel with an inductor as
often found in relays; the diode acts as a protective feature to
provide a safe place for the inductor current to flow after the
power is disconnected to the relay.
A standard multi-meter cannot see the diode because the parallel
inductor reads as a short, thus the diode must be removed from
the circuit before it can be tested.
The Talon-Curve meter displays the graph of the inductor only
(Circle) if the diode is open, a short (vertical line) if the
diode is shorted, only a diode (reverse "L") if the coil is bad,
and a combination graph of a working diode and inductor if
everything is working properly. All of this with only a
single probe pair connection and without having to remove any
components from the circuit. |
