Independence Pack


Independence Pack


The Yelo system Independence pack provides a complete, no more to pay, test solution at a remarkably low price.

Along with a flexible test system, the pack contains everything needed to start testing many of your products. This includes a low cost fixture kit, easy to use program generators, sample programmes, ‘bow to test’ guides and even a small sample product ready to test. From the moment you open the pack, it is ready to use.

Although starting at a very low price, the Independence is not limited in its growth. Functional, in-circuit and telecoms testing can be expanded and it can be upgraded to a larger Yelo system model.

On-going cost of ownership is low - most companies should be able to quickly set the system up for new products including generating new fixtures and programmes. Maintenance is also simple with self-test and easy to repair cards. The only things needed to test your product are a PC and a little time.

The Independence provides powerful testing at low prices. The following are only examples, since you can specify your own mix of test modules. Each one includes a fixture, self test system, example product, getting started guide, manuals and powerful software tools.


Functional starter system - voltmeter, signal generator, frequency/timing, programmable sources, 5 user power rails.

General functional system - voltmeter, signal generator, frequency/timing, 48 test lines, 16 relays, 5 user power rails.

In-circuit system - 96 in-circuit test lines with voltmeter functional capability, 5 user power rails.

Combined system - 96 in-circuit/functional test lines, voltmeter, signal generator, frequency/timing, 5 user power rails.

Yelo 7125 Independence Pack Key Features

The Independence Pack is designed with everything you need to provide your own flexible functional or in-circuit test station. Instead of designing your own tester, the Independence provides a generic test station which can be used and reused for new products. The pack includes the tester, choice of fixture kits, easy to use programming tools, ‘how to test’ guides, self test and diagnostics. A simple PCB is even included along with a test program and connection interface ready to test.

The Yelo system is PC controlled running easy to use software designed for a production environment. The user can choose from a large range of measurement and stimulus cards which simply plug into the Yelo system. The facilities are routed, via a software controlled switching bus to the user interface. The pack is supplied with a choice of bed of nails fixture kit or an uncustomised box in various sizes.

Each Independence already has 5 user power rails and a further 4 test cards can be added before it is necessary to upgrade to a Yelo 7130 with space for up to 15 cards. To specify your version of the Independence select from the table below the test resources you require and thus which cards are needed. Also select which fixture kit you need. Remember, you can always add to it later.

The Yelo system is used extensively in the telecommunications industry. If your application is in this area ask for information on our telecoms pack. Standard programmes are available removing any need for programming in certain applications including modems, telephones and in-circuit testing.
