Output Failure at sweep point 1 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 2 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 3 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 4 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 5 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 6 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 7 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 8 (outside limits)
Failure at sweep point 9 (outside limits)
This signal is output when the DUT fails at any of points 1 to 201 during one 
sweep cycle. 
11 /AUX_BIN Output Failure at sweep point 10 (outside limits)
19-21 N.U. -- Not used (always off at high level)
30 /INDEX Output SEQ sweep mode: 
This signal is output when the last analog measurement in the sweep cycle is 
complete. This means that once the handler has received this signal, the 
next DUT can be connected to the UNKNOWN terminal. However, 
measurement data are not available until the /EOM signal is output. 
STEP sweep mode: 
This signal is output when the analog measurement at each point in the 
sweep cycle is complete. This means that once the handler has received this 
signal, the instrument can proceed to the next sweep point. However, 
measurement data are not available until the /EOM signal is output. 
31 /EOM Output “End of measurement cycle” signal
SEQ sweep mode: 
This signal is output at the end of the sweep cycle. Therefore, when this 
signal is output, the measurement data and sorting results are available. 
STEP sweep mode: This signal is output when the measurement at each 
point is complete (including the comparator test time) and the 
corresponding measurement data are available. The comparator test result 
is available after the /EOM signal for the last sweep point is output.
