Programming A Pause (Pa) In Test Sequence - QuadTech Sentry Plus Series Instruction Manual

2.8 Programming a Pause in Test Sequence
"PAUSE" is a mode selection that allows a test sequence to be stopped while test leads are
changed or other operations performed. A 15-character user programmable message will be
displayed on the screen when in PAUSE mode and the test will continue when the [START]
button is pressed or when START is initiated via remote I/O. The Under Test relay on the
remote I/O can also be cycled during PAUSE if required.
PAUSE is encountered the tester stops, displays PAUSE and 15-character message until START
button is pressed again (or START is initiated via remote I/O).
This mode is applicable to the Sentry 10, 20 and 30 Plus instruments. With the instrument in
'stand-by' status, press [F1] = PROGRAM. If continuing the 5-step example from ¶2.7, you are
already in program mode and on the AC test mode page. This example shows a GC test as
Step1, an AC test as Step 2, a DC test as Step 3, an IR test as Step 4 and finally how to program
a Pause as Step5. Follow the
individual Pause mode parameters. Enter a message (length 1-15 characters) for the operator.
