The first time the system is run, a check of the COM ports is recommended. The PC is
shipped with the COM ports properly configured, however this is not completely dependable
in the windows environment. See Appendix B for COM Port Setup.
•
Click on the RUN TEST button
to create a new test. PinScan will create a new number for
your test, a 4-digit sequential number.
•
If this is the first time the system is run after a power up, it will do a brief electrical check. It
will ask you to Click on GO to confirm that the Green light on the front Panel of PinScan is
illuminated. If Green is not illuminated or Red is illuminated, see Appendix B for COM port
setup, then return to this section to re-check for Green.
•
Internal automation and alignment will then be checked. This will take several minutes.
•
Once alignment is complete, PinScan will ask you to click on GO to start the test.
PinScan always loads the most recent test and its PinScript, Voltage Script, and PinMap as a
starting point. For this quick start, use the scripts as loaded. Later when you are designing
tests, you can make changes using the keyboard, load in different scripts from C:ETS, or create
custom scripts. Details of all the scripts can be found in section V.
4.1. CONFIRM ADAPTER AND PINMAP FILE
Connection to the device to be tested is provided by the Adapter, a printed circuit board, and the
PinMap, a file which lists the pin locations. An Adapter # will be shown on the screen
identifying the Adapter and PinMap loaded. Click on GO to accept this adapter number.
4.2. CONFIRM THE PINSCRIPT
The PinScript is the main list of instructions to PinScan describing a test. It specifies the pin
combinations to be tested.
The system will have a PinScript loaded and ready to run and its number will appear in the
PinScript Ref# field. (7001 as shown in the example above). Click on GO to accept this
PinScript.
