Example Continuous Handoff Mode Transfer

The 15 passive mode tests provided by the 

E84 Emulator Application

 can be also run in Simultaneous

Handoff Mode as well as Single Handoff Mode. 

Continuous Handoff Mode

Continuous Handoff Mode is used to transfer multiple carriers sequentially to or from a specific Load Port. 
The AMHS equipment indicates a Continuous Handoff by setting the CONT signal during the first carrier
handoff, at the time the BUSY signal is turned ON.  The AMHS keeps the CONT signal ON through
subsequent carrier handoff’s, turning it OFF during the last carrier handoff.  

The figure at right shows E84 interface signals recorded
during a typical Continuous Handoff Mode transfer.  The
timing diagram shows a four carrier, Continuous
Handoff sequence: Unload CS_0, Load CS_0, Unload
CS_1, Load CS_1.  Note how the CONT signal turns
ON during the first carrier handoff, and remains ON until
the last carrier handoff. 

The 

E84 Emulator Application

 provides three

Continuous Handoff Mode tests; two active mode, and
one passive mode.  These tests are selectable from the

Continuous Mode Test Setup Screen

, which can be

reached from the 

Main Menu

 using the Continuous

Mode Testing button.
