Main Functions:

Correction Function

SHORT correction:

Eliminates measurement errors due to stray parasitic impedance in the test fixtures.

Comparator Function (Sorting)

Bin sort:

The primary parameter can be sorted into BIN1-BIN9, and HI/IN/LO.

The sequential mode or tolerance mode can be selected as the sorting mode.

Step 2. Use the cursor key to select [RANGE] field

Step 3. Use the soft keys to select the range mode or range.

Comparator Bins [COMP]

This Micro ohmmeter has built-in comparator can sort devices into a maximum of 10 bins (BIN1 to BIN9 and NG) using a maximum of 10 pairs limits

Comparator Workflow

Procedure for setting the comparator function [COMP]

Step 1. Press the [Meas] key

Step 2. Use the cursor key to select [COMP] field

Step 3. Use the soft keys to turn on/off the comparator

When in ULTRA (DISP OFF) mode, “DISPLAY OFF” will appear on the screen.

Short‐circuit Clear Zero       

SCPI Command: CORRect: SHORt

The short correction of this micro ohmmeter compensates for any residual resistance that may exist within the interval from the calibration plane, which is determined by the selected cable length, to the DUT connecting points as shown in the figure.

To perform short correction

Step 1. Press the [Setup] key

Step 2. Press the [Clear Zero] soft key.

Step 3.Press the [MEAS SHORT] soft key, a dialog message display “Short-circuit the test terminals”. The test clips short-circuit should be placed in the following way:

Step: 5: Press the [OK] soft key.

• The micro ohmmeter measures the short resistance for all ranges.
• During the measurement, “SHORT measurement in progress” dialog message is shown on the display.
• When the measurement has finished, a message “Correction finished” is displayed.

<SYSTEM CONFIG> Page      

When press the [Meas] or [Setup] key followed by [SYSTEM] bottom soft key, the <SYSTEM CONFIG> page appears.

Following information can be configured in the <SYSTEM CONFIG> page.

Handler Interface     

 This section provides information of micro ohmmeter built-in handler interface. Include:

• Pin Assignment
• Circuit Diagram
• Timing Chart

Built-in handler interface outputs signals that indicate the end of a measurement cycle, the result of bin sorting by the comparator. In addition, the instrument accepts input of external trigger. To view the signals easily integrate this instrument with a component handler or system controller. This means it can be fully automated the tasks component inspection, component sorting, and processing of quality management data for higher manufacturing efficiency

Electrical Characteristics             

Input Signal:     

Each input signal is connected to the LED (cathode side) of the photo-coupler. The LED (anode side) is connected to the pull-up power supply voltage.

Output Signal:  

Each signal is output via a pull-up 5 kΩ (0.1 W) resistor by using a photo-coupler.

Power supply:

The power supply output signal pull-up, the operation output signal pull-up and input signal drive can be set separately. External power supply can be selected from +3.3V to +35V. An internal VCC (5V DC) has been supplied for testing purpose. To use the internal power, connect PIN-34 and PIN-35 together and PIN-28 and PIN-29 together.

Remote Control

This section provides the following information to remotely control the micro ohmmeter via the RS-232C or USB interface.

• About RS-232C
• About USB Interface
• Select Baud Rate.
• About SCPI

This instrument can use the RS-232 interface or USB interface to communicate with the computer to complete all the instrument functions.

About RS‐232C 

Connect the controller (i.e. PC and PLC) to the RS-232 interface using RS-232 DB-9 cable. The serial port uses the transmit (TXD), receive (RXD) and signal ground (GND) lines of the RS-232 standard. It does not use the hardware handshaking lines CTS and RTS.

The RS-232 interface transfers data using:  8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

 NOTE: Cable length should not exceed 2m.

About USB‐Serial Interface (Option)          

The USB-Serial Interface allows you to connect this micro ohmmeter to a USB port on your PC.

To Select Baud Rate:     

Before controlling the micro ohmmeter by issuing RS-232 commands from built-in RS-232 controller connected via DB-9 connector, configure the RS-232 baud rate.

This instrument’s built-in RS-232 interface uses the SCPI language.

RS-232 configuration is as follows:

• Data bits: 8-bit
• Stop bits: 1-bit
• Parity: none

 To set up the baud rate

Step 1. Press the [Meas] or [Setup] key

Step 2. Press the [SYSTEM] bottom soft key.

Step 3. Use the cursor key to select [BAUD] field

Step 4. Use the soft keys to select baud rate.
