HANDLER Interface
5.1 Introduction
The HANDLER interface card is an optional I/O card that can be purchased for the tester. It
allows the tester to be controlled by external signals or to send response signals back to the
controlling device.

Input/Output
The output signals from CHN1-10 indicate the
Output
test results of CH1-10.
Lo: PASS, Hi: FAIL.
The output signal of PASS_FAIL indicates the
combined test result of all channels when each
Output
Step ends.
Lo: TOTAL PASS, Hi: TOTAL FAIL.
The output signal nEOT indicates if the test
procedure has ended.
When the signal is HIGH, the test procedure is

When the signal is LOW, the test procedure
has ended or the tester is in standby.
