BASIC OPERATION 

102 
 

When the Size is 4-bit, the range of the pattern value 
is 0-15.  
When the Size is 16-bit, the range of the pattern value 
is 0-65535. 
Setting: Move the cursor to the item to be 
programmed (it turns into a red letter on a gray 
background), and press Enter. After the up and down 
arrow signs appear, operate the up and down 
direction keys to select the required option (3bit, 4bit 
or 16bit), and then press Enter to confirm. 

Mode 

Choose Grading or Sorting mode 

Grading mode

: if a measurement reading has passed 

the compliance test and is within all HI/LO tolerance 
limits, PASS will be displayed.  

Sorting fail option cannot be set in Grading mode. 

When Grading is set to Immediate, the measurement 
process will terminate at the first fail situation. If the 
measurement reading is less than the Low limit of any 
of Limit 2, 3, 5-12, the I/O port will output the 
corresponding Lo_fail value. If the measurement 
reading is higher than the High limit of any of Limit 
2, 3, 5-12, the I/O port outputs the corresponding 
Hi_fail value. If HW_Limits and SW_Limits are all 
PASS, the value of Pass pattren will be outputed, and 
the measurement process will be terminated. 

For example, when the GSM is connected to a 20Ω 
resistor for Limit test, set the GSM as I-Source, 
programming Isrc to 105mA, Cmpl to 21V, and 
Measure volt-range to 20V. On the main interface, 
long pressing F3 button to enter the Limit setting 
interface, and setting the options in Digout, HW-
Limits, SW-Limits and Pass pattern menus. After the 
setting is completed, press F6 (Cancel) button to 
return to the Limit test interface, press the Output
