Overview
About GSB-01/02 Scanner Box
The GSB-01 and GSB-02 Scanner Boxes are multiplex switching accessories that expand the channel capacity of GW Instek GPT-9800, GPT-9900, and GPT-9900A series safety testers. By routing test signals to multiple DUT connection points, the scanner boxes enable automated multi-point withstanding voltage, insulation resistance, and ground bond testing without manual probe repositioning. Up to four scanner boxes can connect to a single GPT unit, providing 32 test channels.

Applications
Production lines manufacturing electrical appliances, medical devices, power supplies, and industrial equipment use the GSB scanner boxes to automate multi-point safety testing. The GSB-01 provides 8 high-voltage channels for withstanding voltage and insulation resistance tests across multiple insulation barriers in a single test sequence. The GSB-02 adds 2 dedicated ground bond channels for products requiring protective earth continuity verification alongside dielectric testing.
High-intensity LED indicators on each channel display real-time switching status and pass/fail judgment, giving operators immediate visual feedback during automated test sequences. Front and rear input connector design allows flexible fixture wiring arrangements for different production line layouts.
GSAS Micro Systems provides the GSB Scanner Boxes in India with integration support for safety test systems and compatibility guidance for GPT-series testers.

GW Instek Insights
Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
