5. operating modes
The LinearMaster Compact has a number of test modes that are
selected using the MODE/CLEAR key from the initial screen. The test
modes are as follows:
Single
- execute a single test on the IC in the socket.
Loop
- execute test repeatedly, regardless of the result.
P Loop
- execute test repeatedly, provided the result was PASS.
F Loop
- execute test repeatedly, provided the result was FAIL.
Search
- identify the number of the IC in the socket.
Diags
- execute the diagnostic self-test.
CmLink - enter remote mode for CompactLink software.
Sw Off
- turn off the unit
6. entering test numbers
Press the MODE/CLEAR key until the desired test mode is displayed.
Enter the number of the IC you wish to test.
MODE/CLEAR key will clear the last digit from the display if a mistake is
made.
Note: The NUMERIC information only is entered, leaving out the
manufacturers prefixes and suffixes and IC family information. As
an example, all the following linear ICs should be entered as 7, 4, 1
on the keypad:
Some ICs are available in different pin outs or package types, and also
there may be several different types of IC with the same numerical part
number. In these cases the LinearMaster will automatically determine
which test to perform. If however the IC is faulty the unit may not be
able to determine the correct IC type - if this happens a warning
message will be displayed. A complete list of all ICs supported by the
LinearMaster Compact is contained in the IC SUPPORT LIST at the end
of this manual together with notes on any special requirements for
certain ICs.
Note that if you have stored a user library using CompactLink, an IC in
the user library with the same number as one in the internal library will
take precedence. This allows a new test to be written for an existing IC.
