Poc-it Testimonials

Don't take our word for it; customers and hands-on reviewers have had a lot to say about Poc-it products (quotes are used by permission):

"Poc-it has saved us over a million dollars on a recent product by finding an intermittent just before we released the motherboard."
--Design Engineer from a well-known PC Manufacturer

"We have and use two Poc-it testers. One is the normal power cycler (Poc-it), the other controls phase angle (PowerCycler). I have found them to be versatile test devices that allow me to explore all sorts of issues. Phase angle control allows me to explore worst-case charge currents for products plugged into the wall. Variable timing allows me to explore power-up race conditions for controlled dropouts. I have used the products for power cycling to allow me to stress a product. The cycle count allows me to document the test conditions used. It is a great product!"
--John Loud, Principal Engineer for Exponent, Inc.

"Well, Poc-it was just what we needed: a simple, low-cost, autonomous (portable) product that could be used in the process of test engineering."
--Technical Engineer for Inter-Tel

"The Poc-it from MicroTools is an indispensable device for testing powerfail circuits and code. It is also a pretty fine way to find uninitialized variables, as well as isolating hard to initialize hardware devices like some FPGA's."
--Jack Ganssle in Embedded Systems Programming, April 1999

"What you end up with is a simple tool [Poc-it] (aren't the best ones simple?) that inexpensively allows you to design a true test..."
--Scott Rosenthal in Personnel Engineering, July 1995
