Setting Up the Bins

Procedures

Initial Setup

To enter binning information the unit cannot be in the AUTO parameter mode. Make cer-
tain that the unit is set to the correct measurement mode (R+Q, L+Q, C+D or C+R).
Press the BIN# key, which will bring up the bin entry display and put the unit in the entry
mode. If any previous binning information needs to be cleared, press the BIN# key until
the ―bin CLEAR‖ message appears.
Press the ENTER key to clear all bin data and display ―CLEAR donE‖.
To enter new bin data or to edit old bin data (if it was not previously cleared), press
the BIN# key until displays ―bin x‖. Enter the desired bin number (press a numeric key, 0
through 8, then ENTER). The bin number will appear on the right alphanumeric display.
This is the bin for which subsequent nominal and limit values will be entered.

Nominal Values for Pass Bins 0 to 7

To enter the nominal value, press the NOM key. The NOM LED below the alphanumeric
display will turn on. The display will show the present nominal value, or ―----― if the bin
was previously shown closed in the left display. If a nominal value is needed for this bin,
enter the desired nominal value with the numeric keys and the unit entry keys. The new
nominal value, including units, will be displayed. Note that a nominal value does not have
to be entered for each bin. If a bin does not have a nominal value, it will use the one from
the bin below it.

Limits for Pass Bins 0 to 7

To enter the limits, press the LIM key. The display will show the present upper limit value,
or ―----― if no limit was given previously. The +LIM LED below the display will turn on. En-
ter the limit value in percent using the numeric keys and the ENTER key. If it is
necessary to enter a non-symmetrical limit pair, press the LIM key a second time to dis-
play the present lower limit value. The -LIM LED will turn on. Enter the lower limit in the
same fashion as the upper one. For symmetric limits, enter only the upper value; the
lower limit will be the negative of the upper limit. If no limits are entered for a bin, that bin
will remain closed, even if it has a nominal value.

Values for Fail Bins 8 and 9

To set the QDR limit value, select Bin 8 (using the keys BIN# 8 ENTER) and press the
NOM key. This action will generate a display of the present QDR limit, or ―----―, in the
right alphanumeric display and turn on the NOM LED. Input the value with the numeric
keys and press the ENTER key. Resistors for the C+R mode are entered in  (the al-
lowable range of resistance values is only 0 to 9999 , so no k or M key is needed).
There are no limits for the QDR bin.
Bin 9, the general failure bin, cannot be set. Parts that do not fall into any other bin
are assigned to this bin.
