3. DISPLAYS AND KEY OPERATIONS
3.1.2.6 Measurement mode
This mode can be divided into the following operational states:
1) Measurement in the ready state
• This is the measurement mode that is entered immediately after the power is turned on
or if another measurement mode is aborted by pressing the
C
key (or by the RESET
signal from the I/O interface or the “CL” command from the RS-232C/GP-IB interface).
• It is used to establish setups for calibration and available functions, which are not part
of the basic setup items, or to enter another measurement mode including single-run
measurement.
• Usually GO/NG judgment and analog output will not take place for measurement in the
ready state, however, these specifications can be made in the basic setup mode.
• Measurements in the ready state are unavailable for statistical processing.
2) Single-run measurement
• If the
RUN
key (otherwise input RUN via the I/O interface or “R” command via the
RS-232C/GP-IB interface) is pressed, one session of measurement is performed and the
results will be automatically subject to GO/NG judgment and analog output. In addition,
the measured data will be outputted for the RS-232C/GP-IB interface, Digimatic Output
Unit, and printer. The measured data will be held (latched for the specified period) in
the display.
• This data will be available for statistical processing.
3) Continuous-run measurement
• If the
C.RUN
key (otherwise input RUN+RESET via the I/O interface or “CR” command
via the RS-232C/GP-IB interface) is pressed, one session of measurement is started and
repeated the specified number of times. The measured data will be automatically subject
to GO/NG judgment and analog output. In addition, the measured data will be outputted
for the RS-232C/GP-IB interface, Digimatic Output Unit, and printer.
• Press the
RUN
or
C.RUN
key (or if RUN is received from the I/O interface) again to
terminate the measurement and hold the measured data on the display. If the
C
key
(or input RESET via the I/O interface or “CL” command via the RS-232C/GP-IB interface)
is pressed halfway, the measurement is aborted and the ready state is returned to.
• The measurements are available for statistical processing.
4) Continuous measurement with a term specification
• This will take place where RUN input from the I/O interface has been assigned so as to
start a term-specified continuous-run measurement in the basic setup.
• Repeatedly performs single-run measurement while RUN signal input continues, which
is basically the same as the continuous-run measurement. Therefore, hereafter, continu-
ous-run measurement includes the ones with a term specification.
• The measurements are available for statistical processing.
