Details
The mode defines the capabilities of the prober. Select External automatic mode when the tester
explicitly directs all the prober actions. Use Learn mode when the prober is configured with all the
wafer stepping information. When learn is selected, the tester commands the prober to do the next
operation. Please confirm the correct mode of operation for each specific application. Supported
modes vary from prober to prober.
