There are two methods used to specify the Tolerance Mode limits, the ratio in percent and
by parameter value. Refer to Figure 3-11.

Ln: Lower limit of BINn
Hn: Higher limit of BINn
: Includes the point o : Excludes the point
Figure 3-11. Limit Modes
NOTE
1. The limit values for Sequential Mode sorting must be placed in the order of the
lower limits to the upper limits. If the reverse order is used, all of the compari-
son results will cause the components to be sorted OUT OF BINS, and no
error message will be displayed.
2. The limit values for Tolerance Mode sorting must be placed in the order of the
narrower limits to the wider limits. If BIN 1 has the widest limits, all of the
capacitors will be sorted into bin 1.
3. In tolerance mode sorting, the lower limit doesn't have to be less than the
nominal value, and the upper limit doesn't have to be greater than the nominal
value. As you can see in the following illustration, there can be openings and
there can be duplications.
