    TH2516 Series Operation Manual 8) Handler Interface TH2516 DC Resistance Meter equips with a Handler interface which is mainly used to output the sorting result. When the instrument is applied to an automatic component sorting test system, this interface will output the handshake signal and the sorting result output signal. The sorting result output corresponds to the comparison result output of the current comparator bin.
