Using the RUN FILE feature will enable the instrument’s output once
the barcode is scanned. Do not touch the DUT at any time when using
this feature in order to avoid potential shock or serious injury.
When using a barcode scanner, the HypotULTRA III’ s responses to the TD? and RD x?
commands will differ slightly from an OMNIA with the standard RS-232 interface. For all
types of tests (ACW, DCW, IR, CONT) two fields are added to the end of the standard
response when the Barcode I/P setting is set to SERIAL#, PRODUCT# or SER/PROD.
The first field contains the Serial Number information and the second field contains the
Product Number information. Both fields are included regardless of which of these three
modes are selected. The Ethernet Card will substitute a “0” for the field if it is not
applicable to the setting. For example, if a user had their Barcode I/P setting set to
SERIAL#, and scanned a Serial Number with the value “123456789”, the TD? response
for an ACW test could be:
01,ACW,Pass,1.24,1.000,0.900,1.0,123456789,0
Note that there is a “0” in the Product Number field because the Barcode I/P setting is
SERIAL#.
When the Barcode I/P setting is RUN FILE or OFF, these fields are not included in the
TD? and RD x? responses.
Use the “Change” soft key to select the Barcode I/P. Press the ENTER key to accept the
new setting or the EXIT key to cancel and return to the original setting.
Autostart
Highlight the Autostart parameter using the “
∧
,
∨
” soft keys. When the Autostart
parameter is highlighted, press the “Edit” soft key.
When Autostart is enabled, the test will execute as follows:
If the Barcode I/P is set to PRODUCT#, scan the barcode once to input it into the
HypotULTRA III. The HypotULTRA III will then search for a test file name that
matches the product number barcode string. If the HypotULTRA III finds a match, it will
load the file into RAM. When the same product number barcode is scanned a second
time, the test will be executed automatically. If HypotULTRA III does not find a file
name that matches the barcode string, the unit will beep – notifying the user that it did not
find a matching file name. The test file name is limited to 10 characters. However, if the
user names a test file with the maximum 10 characters, this function will still load a test file
if the first 10 characters of the product number match the file name.
If the Barcode I/P is set to SER/PROD, scan the serial number once to input it into the
HypotULTRA III. Next, scan the product number. From this point, HypotULTRA III will
operate the same as when the Barcode I/P setting is set to PRODUCT#.
