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.
