1.2 Functions
Comparator Function
Determines whether or not the measured result is within the comparison range set
arbitrarily by the user. HI, IN, or LO mark is turned ON to indicate the comparator result.
The result is also output via the handler interface.
Contact Check Function
Determines whether or not the item under measurement is properly connected to the
measurement input terminal, and the result is output via the handler interface. If an error
is detected, “
(no contact)” is displayed.
Trigger Function
Trigger Mode
The instrument has the following three types of trigger modes:
• External trigger: Makes a measurement when the instrument detects a rising or
falling edge of a signal that is applied to the external trigger input
terminal or the number 8 pin (EXT TRIG) of the handler interface.
• Manual trigger:
Makes a measurement when the TRIG key on the front panel is
pressed or whenever a trigger is activated via the communication
interface.
• Internal trigger:
Makes measurements at intervals which depend on the specified
measurement time (auto sampling).
Trigger Delay
The measurement can then be started the specified time after the trigger occurrence. A
trigger delay is enabled when the trigger mode is set to external trigger or manual trigger.
Communication Function
Handler and serial (RS-232) interfaces come standard with the instrument. A GP-IB
interface is also available as an option.
Printout Function
By using the optional Centronics interface, data stored in the memory, statistics collected
from those data, and other information can be printed to an external printer.
