Setting up Communication in the CH2
In each test program that uses the external instrument, you need to define how the external instrument is
connected to the CH2 tester. You will do this by first setting up a connector type that identifies the
connector connecting the external instrument to the CH2 tester.
To definine the connector type for the external instrument:
From the Easy-Wire main menu,
create a new test program,
or highlight the test program you wish to
add an instruction to, and click Edit.
2. Open the “Define Connectors” tab.
Use the scroll bar or search box to find
“External Instrument-16” connector from
the Connector Library list.
Select this connector type,
and click Add Selected Connector.
Note: If you do not see the External Instrument-16 adapter, contact your Cirris support representative to
receive the connector type file to import. To import the connector type file, from the main menu, click
Connector Registry, click the Connectors tab, and then click Import Library.
3. Select the “External Instrument-16”
connector line from the list of connectors
used in the test,
and click Edit.
4. Give the connector a new reference name,
for example M1 as shown,
and check the “Pins in connector are
4-wire pins” box.
Note: You need to check the “Pins in
connector are 4-wire pins” box even if you
are doing 2 wire measurements with your
external instrument.
Now you need to “attach” the pins of the the External Instrument-16 connector type so the tester knows
how these pins map to the tester’s test points.
