The Control settings are accessed in the
COMMON UTILITY menu. The Control
settings include: Start Control, Double Action,
Key Lock and Interlock.
Start Control is used to determine how a test is
started. Tests can be started via the front panel
(START/STOP buttons), from a remote
controller or via the SIGNAL I/O port.
The Double Action function is a safety feature
used to prevent accidentally starting a test.
Normally to start a test, the START button is
pressed when the tester is in the READY status.
To start a test when Double Action is ON, the
STOP button must first be pressed, followed by
the START button within 500ms.
Key Lock disables the front panel keys from
changing the test number, mode or testing
parameters. Only the Utility menu and any
keys required for testing are not disabled.
