Abstract
A printed circuit board tester includes an electronic analyzer and a grid pattern of contact points arranged in a regular pattern in a grid pattern plane. The contact points of the grid pattern are electrically connected to the electronic analyzer such that test points of a circuit board can be electrically scanned, whereby several contact points of the grid pattern are electrically interconnected. The circuit board is connectable to the contact points of the grid pattern by an adapter and/or a translator. The tester includes several grid bases, each of which comprises a contact point narrow side surface at which the contact points are arranged. The grid bases are provided with tracks, each of which is electrically connected to several contact points. Each track includes an electrical terminal connection leading to a terminal contact for connecting the electronic analyzer such that several contact points are electrically connected to a terminal contact. The grid bases are arranged with their contact point narrow side surfaces in the grid pattern plane for configuring the grid pattern.
