regulators and relays. Tests from different device families can be freely mixes to
create custom programs for devices like hybrids or solid-state relays.
1.1.8 System Checkout
System integrity can be checked by plugging in the Self-Test Fixture into the front
panel jacks and running the self-test routine. This only takes about 15 seconds and
should be run daily. See Section 7.2.1 for more details.
1.1.9 Options
Options are available to extend the available voltage and current ranges. A 2000 volt
High Source and 80-volt Low Source are hardware options that can be installed
internally in the 5000 Series Test Systems.
Additionally, optional decks can be attached to the 5000 Series Test System. The
Low Current Deck provides leakage measurements down to 100 Pico amps. The
High Current Deck provides the ability to perform tests requiring high anode
(collector) currents (Model HC-500 and Model HC-1000 provide 500 and 1000 amps
respectively). Also a Multiplexer Option allows up to 4 test stations to be operated by
5000 Series Test System (each station can run a different test program). See Figure
1-1 for a system a 3-station Multiplexer, a Manual Station (MUX 1 DUT), a High
Current Deck and/or Low Current Deck (MUX 2 DUT) and a handler (MUX 3 DUT).

1.1.10 Interfaces
1.1.10.1 RS-232
The 5000 Series Test System comes with an RS-232 interface for connection to a
PC. A standard RS-232 cable and Null Modem are supplied.
1.1.10.2 HANDLER/PROBER
The standard handler interface provides a single pass/fail result along with up to 16
bin classifications. All outputs are mercury-wetted relays. An optional prober
