7 COMPONENT SORTING

The MZ-805 provides comprehensive facilities for sorting components
into 'bins' according to value. The parameters for each bin can be defined from
the keyboard or from a PC via the RS232 interface. Binning parameters are
stored with the instrument set—up; up to 9 complete set—ups can be stored.
Bin limits are set up as percentages around nominal values and can be
overlapping or sequential (with the same nominal) or can be percentages
around quite different nominals; the bins must, however, apply to the same
parameter (R, L or C).
If only one bin is set up, all components outside the range are fails. Up
to 8 bins (0—7) can be used to sort on the basis of the major parameter (R, L or
C); bin 8 can be used to set limits for the minor parameter only (D, Q or R) and
bin 9 is the general fail bin.
Sorting Keys
The following keys are associated with sorting; they are described more
fully in the sections that follow.
Sort
Turns the sorting function on and off.
Bin No.
Used for setting each of up to eight bin values.
Nominal
Used to set the nominal value for a bin and the limit for minor parameter (bin 8).
Limit
Used to set the limits for a bin, in percentages.
Numeric keys 0-9, • and ±
Used to enter the bin numbers, program store numbers, nominal values and
percentage limits.
Ω µ H pF
Used when entering nominal component values to set the appropriate multiplier.
k Ω mH nF
Used when entering nominal component values to set the appropriate multiplier.
M Ω H µ F
Used when entering nominal component values to set the appropriate multiplier.
