Run Programmed Sequence
After programming and saving the sequence(s), you can start running those
sequences by doing the following (Only 25 steps can be run at one time):
- Press
A
- Press B
key to run programmed steps 0 to 24.
key to run programmed steps 25 to 49.
- Press
- Press C View
D Mode
key to run programmed steps 50 to 74.
key to run programmed steps 75 to 99.
When sequence is running, a beep sound will occur whenever it jumps to the
next step.
NOTE
Although programmed steps can be set with minimum resolution of 1 mA/1
mV/1 m
Ω, when running the sequence the minimum display resolution will only
be 10 mA/10 mV/10 m
Ω.
The running sequence will stop if the step data value is 0.000. It will not run all
25 steps in each sequence unless each step has a data value greater than
0.000.
CAUTION:
Once a sequence starts running, other key press will interrupt the setting, but
the sequence will still continue to run until it ends. Additionally, the input will
turn ON automatically. To stop the sequence immediately, go into the LIST
menu and exit again. This will stop the sequence, but input status will remain
ON if it was already ON prior to entering the LIST menu. Otherwise, turning the
power switch OFF will be the quickest and safest way to end the run.
Error Condition
The upper and lower limit voltage
and current parameters in each
step configuration sets test
boundaries. While a sequence is
