ATS Series to TP04300 ........Backwards Compatibility Introduction The ATS-XXX remote interface command set exhibits a high degree of backwards compatibility with that of the TP04300.

Temperature Control Using the ATS-Series System Temperature Control Using the ATS-Series System The main application of the system is to control the temperature of the Device Under Test (DUT) by varying the temperature of the air stream coming out of the air nozzle. There are three modes of temperature control in the system.
Page 271
DUT Mode DUT Mode DUT Mode is use for controlling the temperature of the DUT. Pros: • Accurate DUT temperature controlling (the DUT is controlled within ±0.1C) Cons: • Requires an external temperature sensor (thermocouple, RTD, or diode) Mounting and The temperature sensor has to be in direct contact with the DUT and connected to the back of Selecting a DUT the system.
Page 272
DUT Mode DTYP Setting First, choose the appropriate DUT Type (DTYP) settings. The system is designed to control the temperature of a wide variety of DUTs. Depending on the geometry, size, material, and location of the DUT relative to the air stream, the DUT responds differently to changes in the air temperature.
DUT Mode RAMP rate Setting RAMP rate is the speed (°C/sec) at which the system transitions from one set point to another. A RAMP rate setting of “9999” allows the system to transition (or ramp) as fast as possible; a RAMP rate setting of “0”...
Temperature Control Troubleshooting Temperature Control Troubleshooting This section describes common problems in the temperature transition and suggests how use the settings in the Setup Screen to correct them. Oscillatory behavior DUT and air temperatures oscillate around the set point. • DTYP - Try to use a higher DTYP, if you are already at DTYP 3, see the Thermal Con- stant adjustments (below).
Page 275
Temperature Control Troubleshooting Steady State Error DUT temperature extremely slow changes or stays at steady state below the set point • DTYP - Try to use lower DTYP, if you are already at DTYP 0, see the Thermal Constant adjustments •...
TC Meter Mode TC Meter Mode Introduction Some test setups do not allow an external temperature sensor to be interfaced with the Device Under Test (DUT). The solution to these types of test setups is to thermally characterize the DUT and then use TC Meter Mode to control the DUT with a calibrated offset. The calibrated offset is determined by the DUT characterization and allows for a DUT temperature to be achieved without interfacing a temperature sensor directly at, on, or into the DUT.
