Executing a binning measurement

A binning measurement requires that you configure the test signal and all settings nec-

essary for your measurement before. You cannot change a parameter while the mea-

surement is running.

In addition, you need a trigger event that you can initiate manually with the [Trig.] key

at the front, or by a trigger signal assigned to the [Trigger Input] connector at the back.

This example assumes that you have set up the measurement and aligned the instru-

ment, see e.g., "Basic measurement steps" on page 32 and Chapter 7, "Performing

measurements", on page 63.

To start the measurement:

1. Create the binning file, see "Configuring a binning file" on page 108.

2. Load the binning file according to "Loading the binning file" on page 109.

To activate the binning function, turn

"Enable".

4. Press the [home] key.

The R&S LCX switches to measurement mode "triggered" automatically. The

[Meas. Mode] key lights up.

5. Connect a sample component to the terminals of test fixture.

6. Start the first measurement with a trigger signal, e.g., press the [Trig.] key.

7. Wait until the measurement is complete.

When completed, and you have enabled the end of measurement control signal,

the R&S LCX highlights the EOM bin.

8. Remove the sample component.

9. Repeat step 5 to step 8 until you have measured all components.

According to the reading, the R&S LCX sorts a component into the corresponding

bin and highlights it. In addition, it indicates the summed number of components

sorted into it, and displays the distribution graphically in the histogram.
