LinearMaster Compact Linear IC Tester
If you wish both tests to be available, use a different number for your
user test.

7. testing the IC

The test socket is a 24 pin shell with 16 active pins. Insert the IC to be
tested in the front of the 24 pin Zero Insertion Force socket with pin 1
towards the display as shown below:
For 3 pin TO220 or TO92 packages, insert the IC in pins 6, 7 and 8
(lower left) of the socket with the metal tab or flat side facing to the right.
Ensure that the operating lever on the socket is in the open (i.e. up)
position before inserting the IC. Close the socket by lowering the lever,
making sure that the IC is firmly seated in the socket and making good
contact. Press the TEST/EXEC key to activate the test sequence for the
IC. If an invalid IC type number was entered, or if the IC you have
requested is not supported the message "Unknown" will be displayed.
Simply entering another IC type number will automatically clear this error
message. If a valid type number was entered, the IC test will begin and
the message "BUSY" will be displayed while the test proceeds. Many of
the tests, however, execute so quickly that this message is not
noticeable.

8. test results

A pre-determined sequence of signals is applied to the inputs of the IC
under test and the output voltages are measured prior to comparing with
the correct values. The exact nature of the test depends on the function
of the IC, but as an example the operational amplifier tests include both
open and closed loop testing over a range of input voltages and gain
