In Sequential mode, the comparison limit values are based on the absolute value of the
measurement. The nominal value does not need to participate in operation.
To set up the comparator limit mode
Step 1. Press the [Meas] or [Setup] key
Step 2. Press the [COMP SETUP] soft key
Step 3. Use the cursor key to select [MODE] field
Step 4. Use the soft keys to select comparator mode

mode
COMParator:NOMinal <float>
You must configure the nominal value when you use tolerance mode as the limit mode.
In sequential mode the nominal value does not affect sorting. In sequential mode you
can configure nominal value or not, but if you have set the Range Mode to [NOM] the
nominal value must be configured.
To enter the nominal value
Step 1. Press the [Meas] or [Setup] key
Step 2. Press the [COMP SETUP] soft key
Step 3. Use the cursor key to select [NOM] field
Step 4. Enter the nominal value using the entry keys. Use the soft key to select unit.

SCPI Command:
COMParator:BIN < 1~10>,<LOW>,<HIGH>
AT516’s built-in comparator can sort DUTs into a maximum 10 levels (Bin1 thru Bin10
and OUT) using up to 10 sets limits.
To enter the limit values
Step 1. Press the [Meas] or [Setup] key
Step 2. Press the [COMP SETUP] soft key
Step 3. Use the cursor key to select [BIN 1 LOW] field
Step 4. Enter the limit value using the entry keys.
