BoardTrace
Read full descriptionHide full description
BoardTrace is a local-first bench record for hardware bring-up. Capture test-point readings on a board, compare them against a known-good baseline, and freeze an observation session into an immutable, checksummed record โ then hand it off as a board-revision passport. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Create boards with your own test-point map: reference designator, signal name, unit, nominal value and tolerance. โข Start a capture session and record measured values against every test point. โข See pass/fail at a glance on a spatial Test-Point Map, color-coded per point. โข Adopt a completed session as your known-good baseline โ adoption freezes the readings with a SHA-256 checksum, so the record can never silently change. โข Clone an adopted session into a new draft to compare a later board revision, without ever touching the original record. โข Archive superseded or old sessions; delete drafts freely (adopted records that are still referenced by a later revision are protected from deletion). HANDOFF AND BACKUP โข Export a session as JSON (free), or as a formatted PDF report and CSV table (Pro). โข Back up all your boards to a single JSON file and restore it on this or another device. Restore validates the file's schema and checksum first, so a corrupted or incompatible backup is rejected before anything is touched. PRIVACY BY DESIGN โข No account, no sign-in, no server. All boards, test points, sessions and readings stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them. โข No analytics, no advertising identifier, no tracking. PRO BoardTrace Pro removes the one-board limit and unlocks PDF/CSV handoff exports and the clone-to-compare workflow. Monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions and a one-time Lifetime purchase are available. Backup, restore and deletion stay free forever. BoardTrace is a record-keeping tool for your own observations. It does not control test instruments, interpret electrical safety, certify a board, or provide engineering advice.
