GeekTeches GM328B Transistor tester

一 Characteristic

1. The processor uses high performance single chip ATmega328 and using external 8MHz oscillator as
the system clock.

2. 1.8 Inch LCD screen，Resolution is 128X160，Support 65536 colors.

3. Single button operation，Support for automatic shutdown to reduce power consumption.

4. Power supply support battery， the current is less than 20nA when the system is turned off.

5. Measurement time of about 2S each time. Measuring time becomes longer when measuring
capacitance or inductance.

6. Detection of NPN or PNP Bipolar Transistor automatic,N channel 、 P channel MOSFET and
JFET,diode,Double diode,P-IGPT,Thyristor 、 Double thyristor etc. For some thyristor and double
thyristor. Unable to test When the transistor tester can not meet the requirements of its trigger
current and keep the current. Transistor testers are also unable to test the IGPT drive voltages is
over than 5V.

7. Support identification pin for test element.

8. Support test current amplification factor for bipolar transistor and base emitter turn-on voltage.

9. Can judge Darlington transistor through the turn-on voltage and the current amplification factor.

10. Support test the gate threshold voltage of MOSFET 、grid capacitance and drain electrode in the
case of 5V gate voltage- source resistance RDSon

11. Supports the simultaneous measurement of two resistors,Data is four decimal format display.
Support potentiometer test，It can not distinguish between the middle pin and this pin When the
potentiometer is adjusted to one end of the potentiometer.

12. Minimum resistance resolution 0.01 ohm, Maximum resistance 50M ohms.

13. Can measure a capacitor, Capacitance range 25pf~100mF, Resolution 1pF.

14. Capacitance less than 25pF can be measured by parallel connection another known capacitor is
greater than or equal to 25pF.The measured capacitance value can be obtained by subtracting the
known capacitance value from the result.

15. When the test capacitance is greater than 90nF ， it series equivalent resistance is also be
shown，resolution is 0.01 ohm.

16. When the test capacitance is greater than 5000pF. Voltage loss after the test pulse is can be
measured.This parameter can estimate the quality factor of the capacitor.

17. Support two diodes to be measured simultaneously and display voltage drop for diode .

18. LED will be identified as a diode, the test voltage drop is much larger than that of the common
 diode. Two colors diodes are identified as two diodes.

19. Resistance less than 2100 ohm, it’s equivalent inductance is also measured at the same time. Range
is 0.01mH~20H, but it’s measurement accuracy is not very good.

20. Program tape self checking function, Support calibration of multiple parameters.

21. Support frequency measurement function,frequency signal input from PD4 pin. Frequency
resolution is 1Hz when the input frequency is greater than 25KHz. When the value is less than that,
by measuring the period, the frequency resolution can be 0.001Hz.

22. Support frequency generator function, output by TP2, the output frequency range is 1Hz ~ 2MHz.

23. Support a fixed frequency signal output from the TP2, the duty cycle can be adjusted by the button.

Particular attention:

 Be sure to discharge the capacitor before the test capacitance, otherwise it may damage the test pin.

 Be sure to disconnect the power from the circuit board when testing the components on the circuit
board, the test equipment have residual voltage is not allowed.

2、Boot
Press S2 to boot after the power supply is switched on, Boot screen as follows:

picture 2-1 Display voltage and start to measur picture 2-2 View of no device to be tested
3 、 LCD display test results ,display test results with Icon, it can distinguish different devices. For
example, display effect of triode as follow(Background and foreground can be configured.):
 4 、 When the following picture was appeared.According to the prompt calibration circuit or press
the reset button to turn off. Press S2 to restart the new measurement.

5.Long press the button more than 1 second after the boot, to enter interface of additional function
selection. After the short button to move the cursor up and down, then long press the button ，to
entering attachment function interface that corresponding to the cursor. Each function is described
as follows:

 frequency ： Frequency measurement function,Frequency signal input from the PD4 pin. When the
input frequency is greater than 25KHz, frequency resolution is 1Hz. When this value is less than
that，frequency resolution can be 0.001Hz by measuring period.

 f-Generator: Frequency generator function,output by TP2 ， The output of frequency range is 1Hz to
2MHz.

 10-bit PWM: A fixed 7812.5Hz frequency signal output from the TP2, it’s can adjust duty cycle 1% by
short pressing the button , adjust duty cycle 10% by long pressing the button.

 C+ESR@TP1:3：Test capacitance value between the TP1 and the TP3 test pins, the result is equivalent
input resistance. It can measure continuously if capacitance range is 2uF~50mF.Long press the button
to return to the menu interface

 Resistor meter：Resistance measurement；

 Capacitor meter：Capacitance measurement；

 C(uF)-correction ： Setting large capacitance calibration parameters, the output result value is the
actual measured value plus or minus a certain proportion coefficient, this coefficient is the calibration
 coefficient.( Warning: Don’t change at will unless you already have a deep understanding of this
function)

 Selftest：Self checking function.Complete the self checking function according to the prompt.

 Show data: Shows some of the calibration parameters used in the corresponding software version

 Transistor：Test transistor.

 Switch off: Enter to power off immediately.
