Quick Start

Fixture Lid Start
The Remote Start input starts the test cycle. Remote Start must
continue to be asserted throughout the test cycle, otherwise, its
release aborts the test. Also, Remote Stop can optionally be used
to abort the test cycle at any time. The Remote Start Enable input
is not used for this start policy and is ignored.
Interlock Start
The Remote Start input starts the test cycle, if Remote Start
Enable is already asserted. Typically, Remote Start Enable is
connected to a test fixture interlock switch that indicates when it
is safe to test. After this condition is attained, some user action is
required that asserts the Remote Start input thus starting the test
cycle. If Remote Start Enable is released before the test cycle has
finished, the test cycle is aborted. Also, Remote Stop can
optionally be used to abort the test cycle at any time.
Anti-Tie-Down Start
This start policy requires an external device that implements anti-
tie-down operation. The output of this external device is
connected to the Remote Start input. The test cycle is started
when the anti-tie-down device asserts the Remote Start input for
the duration of the coupling time (or times if there are multiple
couplings). The intent is to keep the operator’s hands safe on the
anti-tie-down device and away from pinch points while the fixture
is moving to close and seal on the test part. The test cycle is
aborted if the anti-tie-down device releases the Remote Start input
before the coupling time(s) have completed. Also, Remote Stop
can optionally be used to abort the test cycle at any time. The
Remote Start Enable input is not used for this start policy and is
ignored.
