Golden-Board Signature Sheet
Record a known-good board, then diff suspects against it
▣Circuit Card Academy
Measure a confirmed-good unit once and keep this sheet with the board’s records. On a failed board, repeat each measurement and compare — the first divergence brackets the fault. Record your measured values here; they are not program data we can supply.
A · Power rails (DC volts)
| Rail / net | Test point | Golden value (V) |
|---|---|---|
Idle supply current:
B · Key-node DC signatures (powered)
| Node / TP | Function | Golden value |
|---|---|---|
C · Diode-mode signatures from ground (power OFF)
Black probe on ground; touch each connector/IC pin. This signature set is the fastest way to localize damage by comparison.
| Pin / net | Golden reading (V) |

D · Dynamic references (oscilloscope)
| Signal | Golden frequency / amplitude | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main clock / osc | ||
