🧠 Core Features & Capabilities
📌 1. Repair Drawings & Visual Schematics
-
High-resolution board layouts with clearly labeled test points and IC references.
-
Perfect for identifying component locations, circuit paths, and layout orientation.
-
Schematics and silkscreens are sourced from MaAnt’s integrated cloud library (e.g., Alibaba).
🔍 2. Object Observation Module (Martview Integration)
-
Offers zoom and pan functions for in-depth inspection of solder points and connectors.
-
Ideal for micro-soldering checks and visual confirmation of pad integrity.
-
Supports corner direction analysis and RF trace observation.
⚡ 3. Current Storage & Live Voltage Monitoring
-
Real-time monitoring of voltage, resistance, and current draw.
-
Analyze boot-up power behavior and pinpoint faults in power rails.
-
Useful for battery charging diagnostics and PMIC-level fault isolation.
🔌 4. RF & Signal Path Analysis
-
The RFFE (RF Front-End) module lets you trace and diagnose antenna, filter, and signal line faults.
-
Essential for resolving issues related to poor network, Wi-Fi, or GPS signal loss.
