5.4-4 Section 5: Using the Model 9100: Procedure Mode
Final Width = 215mm
5.4.3.3 High Voltage Warning
After pressing OK or REPEAT PREV. keys:
If the procedure writer has not conformed strictly to the procedure-writing guidelines,
LETHAL VOLTAGES MAY APPEAR WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY POINT IN
THE PROCEDURE. ANY WARNING BEEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY
SERIOUSLY!
Emergency Action
In emergency, the most effective way of turning output off (other than pulling the line-
power plug) is to press the OUTPUT OFF button on the right of the front panel. This may
sound obvious, but a special feature of the OFF button operation is that as well as sending
the appropriate message to the operating system, it also has a hardware link which
bypasses the software. Even if the program has locked up, this button is effective in
cutting off the output.
5.4.3.4 OK / FAIL Screen Keys
The use of the 'OK' and 'FAIL' screen keys is to inform the 9100 whether or not it was
possible, by making the specified adjustment, for the UUT measurement to be set to the
target value.
'FAIL' Key
If, by adjustment, the UUT measurement cannot reach the target value, the 'FAIL' key
should be pressed. This will cause the 9100 to register the test as an 'Invalid Reading',
and print this on the certificate.
'OK' Key
If, by adjustment, the UUT measurement acquires the target value, the 'OK' key should
be pressed. This will cause the 9100 to register the test as a 'Valid Reading'.
5.4.3.5 'REPEAT PREV.' Key
The effect of pressing the 'REPEAT PREV.' (repeat previous) screen key, on the first
'Prompt' screen of a test point, is to force the procedure back to the first screen for the test
point immediately preceding the current point.
On any screen other than the first, pressing the 'REPEAT PREV.' key will return to the
first screen of the current test point.
5.4.3.6 'ABORT' Key and End of Procedure
The effects of (a) pressing the 'ABORT' screen key or (b) arriving at the end of the card
procedure are described in sub-section 5.3, paras 5.3.3.9 to 5.3.3.13.
