The
is a graphical representation of the way the physical connection is made to the IC under test. It contains one or
more packages, and also contains a mapping table which tells the SENTRY software which channel of the test hardware
connects to which pin of the IC under test. For example, if you insert a 14 pin DIL device at the rear of the left most 48 pin ZIF
socket, the pins will need to be mapped as follows :

Each ZIF socket has 48 pins, corresponding to 48 of the SENTRY test channels, so
the leftmost socket corresponds to channels 1 – 48 of the system.
If you insert a 14 pin DIL IC in the rear of the socket, this means that pin 1 of the
IC connects to channel 1 of the SENTRY, pin 2 to channel 2, and so on. However,
pin 14 of the IC (on the other side) connects to channel 48 of the SENTRY, as
shown in the table. Pin 13 connects to channel 47, and so on.
