Operating Modes; Entering Test Numbers - abi Professional ChipMaster Compact Operator's Manual

operating modes

The ChipMaster Compact has a number of test modes that are selected
using the MODE/CLEAR key from the initial screen. The test modes are
as follows:
Single - execute a single test on the IC in the socket.
Loop - execute test repeatedly, regardless of the result.
P Loop - execute test repeatedly, provided the result was PASS.
F Loop - execute test repeatedly, provided the result was FAIL.
Search - identify the number of the IC in the socket.
Diags - execute the diagnostic self-test.
CmLink - enter remote mode for CompactLink software.
Sw Off - turn off the unit.

entering test numbers

Press the MODE/CLEAR key until the desired test mode is displayed.
Enter the number of the IC you wish to test.
MODE/CLEAR key will clear the last digit from the display if a mistake is
made.
Note: The NUMERIC information only is entered, leaving out the
manufacturers prefixes and suffixes and IC family information. As
an example, all the following TTL ICs should be entered as 7, 4, 0, 0
on the keypad:
e.g. DM74LS00J,
SN74HCT00
A very small number of ICs have differing pin-outs for different IC
families - in these cases, the most popular pin-out only is supported.
The CMOS 4000 series is also supported and the IC numbers for this
family should all begin with "4", so that with for example Motorola ICs
beginning MC14... the initial "1" should be omitted. The same principles
apply also to memory ICs, which are mostly four digit numbers. With
interface ICs of the 8T series the "T" should be omitted. A complete list
of all ICs supported by the ChipMaster Compact is contained in the IC
SUPPORT LIST at the end of this manual together with notes on any
special requirements for certain ICs.
Note that if you have stored a user library using CompactLink, an IC in
the user library with the same number as one in the internal library will
take precedence. This allows a new test to be written for an existing IC.
