3-2 MTS-1700 SERIES OPERATION AND REFERENCE MANUAL
MANTA TEST SYSTEMS
CU A002 15A
5. [EXTERNAL STOP] TRIGGER INPUTS
These three input terminals allow external contact or voltage signals to stop a test.The lower and
centre terminals detect impedance change-of-state, such as contact closure or low-impedance
voltage source appearance. The upper and centre terminals detect voltage change-of-state.
6. [PREFAULT] PUSHBUTTON
This pushbutton toggles PREFAULT voltage and current on/off. When lit, this indicates that
PREFAULT voltages and currents may be non-zero.
7. [MODE/MENU DISPLAY]
This display is used to annunciate active modes and selections. It’s also used for displaying the
built-in menu for advanced users, and to annunciate warnings.
8. [FAULT] PUSHBUTTON
When this button is lit, it indicates that the MTS-1710 is in the fault state. When depressed, this
pushbutton causes the MTS-1710 to enter the FAULT state, and applies the fault voltages and
currents to the outputs.
9. [VALUE DISPLAY]
This is the large LCD display for displaying values and settings.
10. [STATIC/DYNAMIC] PUSHBUTTON
This pushbutton selects between static and dynamic operation modes.
11. [STOP/RESET] PUSHBUTTON
This pushbutton stops a dynamic test in progress, or resets the MTS-1710 in the POSTFAULT
state. After pressing this button, the MTS-1710 returns to the PREFAULT state. When this button
is illuminated, the MTS-1710 is in the POSTFAULT state, and all measurements have been frozen
at their values when the stop trigger occurred.
12. [POSTFAULT] PUSHBUTTON
This pushbutton toggles POSTFAULT voltage and current on/off. When lit, this indicates that
POSTFAULT voltages and currents may be non-zero.
13. [MODE/MENU] PUSHBUTTON
This pushbutton toggles between the mode and menu displays. When lit, this indicates that the
menu is active and that the non-menu controls will be inoperable.
