Connecting the Instrument to a Handler with the Handler Interface

Outputting Bin Sort Results

When the bin sort feature is on (i.e., after you have issued the :CALC:COMP command

on page 211 by specifying “ON”), the instrument outputs the result of bin sorting through

the handler interface. Table 12-2 shows how bin sort results are mapped to the sort result

signals /BIN1 through /BIN13 and /OUT_OF_GOOD_BINS) of the handler interface. The

table assumes that you have issued the :CALC:COMP:OGB command on page 223 by

specifying 10 so that bins 1 through 10 serve as good bins while bins 11 through 13 serve

as bad bins.

NOTE When the bin sort feature is off, the instrument does not output signals except the /INDEX,

/EOM, /ALARM, /OVLD and /READY_FOR_TRIG. The EXT_TRIG is valid regardless

of the on/off status of the bin sort feature if the trigger mode is set to External. The

/KEY_LOCK is also valid regardless of on/off status of the bin sort feature.
