1GENERAL
The PILOTH4 system belongs to the new generation of flying probers, created to solve the problem of
testing electronic boards without the aid of fixtures or specialized mechanical devices.
PILOTH4 is particularly suitable for testing prototypes, samples, small series, SMD boards with specific
accessibility problems: in general, when the costs and time of constructing a fixture are not justifiable.
The technology and materials used for measuring head motion provides extremely high levels of
acceleration and speed. The system requires little maintenance and offers a high level of system uptime
for critical time-to-market” situations.
The brushless motors used for the horizontal movements of the heads also require little maintenance and
the integrated encoders keep the position of the heads constantly under control so no realignment or
calibration is necessary after a stop.
This manual contains all of the required information to use the test system safely and correctly. The
procedures used to test electronic boards together with inspection and maintenance on the system are
considered in detail.
The operator is recommended to read this manual thoroughly and familiarize with test procedures and
system operation.
A knowledge on testing, electronics and use of Personal Computer is required.

1.1 AUDIENCE
This manual contains useful information for:
•Operators in charge of testing mounted boards
•Developers of test programs
•Technicians in charge of maintenance operations on the system
1.2 ASSUMPTIONS
Technical knowledge on testing, electronics and use of Personal Computer is required.
1.3 SYNTAX CONVENTIONS
To facilitate the understanding of the sentences used to describe the software, we have used the
following symbols:
WARNING Indicates a potential hazard for the operator or the system that could result from
the action described in the warning.
NOTE: Indicates a note, a recommendation or a point on which readers should focus more carefully.
The syntax to select a software menu or menu item is as follows:
MENU\item 1 = Select the menu indicated, then choose item 1.
Example: BOARD\Select
MENU 1\MENU 2\MENU n \item 1 = Select menu 1, submenu 2, ..., submenu n, and then item 1.
Example: TOOLS\HARDWARE\Autolearn\Debug
The keyboard selection is indicated as follows:
Button 1+ Button 2 = Press button 1 and button 2 simultaneously.
Button 1, Button 2 = Press button 1, release it and press button 2.
The files are indicated using the following syntax:
File.nod
File.srg ... etc,
where "File" is the filename and “.nod” and ".srg" are the file extensions.
