2. DC input The B & K Model 570A is powered by four AA batteries or by the use of the battery eliminator input at the rear of the case. To insert the batteries, turn the unit upside down and remove the battery Copyright ...
3. battery eliminator An external battery eliminator is available for prolonged use of the B & K Model 570A. Some ICs consume a significant amount of current when powered up, and battery life can be conserved by using the eliminator. There is no need to remove the batteries prior to inserting the battery eliminator.
Model 570A Linear IC Tester When this initial display is obtained the B & K Model 570A is ready for use. If, however, the message SELF-TEST FAIL: is displayed along with a fault message, this indicates that a self-test diagnostic fault has been detected.
IC type - if this happens a warning message will be displayed. A complete list of all ICs supported by the B & K Model 570A is contained in the IC SUPPORT LIST at the end of this manual together with notes on any special requirements for certain ICs.

ICs in the library which have the same numerical part number even though the IC functions are different. In these cases the B & K Model 570A will automatically determine the IC type prior to the test, provided that the IC is functional.
F Loop - execute a test repeatedly, provided the result was FAIL. The B & K Model 570A is configured into one of the loop modes using the MODE/CLEAR key as described earlier. Insert the IC and press TEST/EXEC in the usual way to start the continuous test process.
This feature allows the type number of an unknown IC to be determined, provided the IC is actually contained in the B & K Model 570A library, and it is a correctly functioning IC. This facility is useful when the IC type number is illegible or has been removed.
CompactLink mode The B & K Model 570A is provided with an RS-232 interface to connect to a PC with a serial COM port or using a USB to RS-232 converter. A companion software package CompactLink is available...
