Sorting result output.
All signal with pull up resistor collector output. Up pull supply can
c
hoose the internal +5V power supply, or external power supply
EXTV (factory default).
The internal pull resistor is 4.7kΩ.

/EXT.TRIG
The rising edge of this signal triggers the instrument to measure.
The pulse width is more than 1μs, the low level of a driving current
is about 5-10mA.
16,17,18 +5V
Internal +5V power output:
Users generally do not recommend the use of internal power supply
equipment, if you have to use, please ensure that the use of the
current is less than 0.3A, and the signal line away from the source of
interference.
27,28 EXTV
An external DC power supply for sorting interface signals is
accessed from here.
If you want to use the internal +5V power
supply, need to change the jumper settings.
30 /IDX
/IDX valid after A/D conversion.
When the signal is valid, the automatic test machine is allowed to
move the next element to the position where it is to be measured.
However, the current measurement results have to wait until /EOM
is valid, then it is output.
31 /EOM
End Of Measurement：
When the measured data and the comparison results are valid, the
signal is valid.
34,35,36 COM
Reference to external power EXTV.
When the Handler interface output signal using the internal power
supply, the instrument's internal GND will be connecte

When the internal power supply is used, the 1 and 2 of the J205 are connected; the 1
and the 2 of the J204 are connected.
When using an external power supply (factory default), the 2 and 3 of the J205 are
connected; the 2 and 3 of the J204 are connected.
Chapter 6 Operation example
6.1 Clear operation
One way to clear：（In this way, the instrument will clear all the frequency points）
Figure 6-1 Measurement display page
Step:
1. As shown above ,when the cursor is in <MEAS DISP> , the [Quick Clear] soft key will be
displayed .
2. Press [Quick Clear] soft key, “To make UNKNOWN short”will be displayed on the screen. At
this time, there are 3 regional soft options: [YES] ,[NO], [CANCEL].
3. Select [CANCEL], then quit the operation of SHORT;
Select "NO", skip the SHORT operation, and enter the fourth step；

MCR METER Manual
17
Select "YES", the instrument will enter a short circuit cleared process, if the short circuit failure,
will jump to the second step to re ask；Note: When performing SHORT operation, must
ensure that the test fixture is short.
4. “To make UNKNOWN open”is displayed on the screen.At this time, there are 3 regional soft
options: [YES] ,[NO], [CANCEL].
5. Select [CANCEL], then quit the operation of OPEN;
Select "NO", skip the OPEN operation, and enter the sixth step；
Select "YES", the instrument will enter a open circuit cleared process, if the open circuit failure,
will jump to the second step to re ask；Note: When performing OPEN operation, must
ensure that the test fixture is open.
6. Clear end.
Another way to clear：（In this way, the instrument will clear current frequency point）
Figure 6-2
1. Press [TOOL] key in <MEAS DISP> page or in <BIN DISP> page ,or in <MULTI PARA. DISP>
page, the [SINGLE SHORT] and [SINGLE OPEN] will displayed .
2. If you need SHORT operation, please make the test fixture short, and then select the [SINGLE
SHORT] softkey, the current test status will be short circuit cleared.
3. If you need OPEN operation, please make the test fixture open, and then select the [SINGLE
OPEN] softkey, the current test status will be open circuit cleared.
6.2 Set sorting
Figure 6-2 <BIN DISP> page
1. Press the "MEAS" button on the panel to enter the < MEAS DISP > page (as shown in Figure
6-1), and press "BIN DISP " softkey to enter < BIN DISP > page (as shown in Figure 6-2).
2. Move the cursor to the "NOMINAL", press the number keys and softkey to input the nominal
value of main parameter.
3. Move the cursor to the lower or upper limit of the BIN1~ BIN3, use digital keys and OK key
to enter the upper and lower limits.
4. Move the cursor to the lower or upper limit of 2nd ，press the number keys and softkey to
input the upper and lower limits of the second parameter.
