Shield Box Operation with Fixture
4.3 Shield Box Operation with Fixture
The fixture operation mode of standard TC-5972DP is set as 'Handler Mode: Off', 'Probe Mode:
Timer' at the time of release. (You can check it with the query 'SOLENOID MODE?') You need
to configure the fixture operation mode if you are to use it.
4.3.1 Fixture Operation Modes
The handler and the probe of fixture can operate in 3 modes each, and the operation is automatic
according to the open or close of Shield Box.
The operation of fixture can be controlled with commands via RS-232C. Refer to the list of commands
and each command in detail at Handler & Probe Configuration Commands
Table 4-2 Handler and Probe Operation Modes
Operation Mode Description
Sensor Mode The operation of fixture is detected by sensors. This mode can prevent damage from
malfunction to either the product or DUT.
Timer Mode The operation runs by timer without using sensors. The waiting time is already fixed
upon release and can not be changed.
Off Mode The operation of fixture is off.
It is NOT recommended operating fixture with the Timer Mode.
Without sensors, the lid may close even when the fixture operation is incomplete, thus causing
damage to the product or DUT.
4.3.2 Fixture Button ( ) Operation
The fixture can be moved step-by-step if you press the fixture button while the lid is open.
Each step can be run under sensor mode or timer mode, and every move can return to the previous
step if there is any problem.
