Resistor sorting using limit testing with multiple limits
This example inspects multiple resistors until it detects the first pass. This example uses a trigger
model using constant limits.
This trigger model provides support for inspecting the output of a single test against multiple limits.
The trigger model count block determines the number of devices that will be tested. A test refers to a
single source or measure operation. After a measurement for a particular test is performed, it is
checked against any enabled limits. The software limits are inspected in ascending numeric order
until the first pass is detected. When a pass condition is detected, the pass bit pattern assigned to the
limit that passed is output to the digital I/O port, and any subsequent limit inspections are aborted. If
all limit inspections for the test fail, the overall fail bit pattern is output.
The following diagram shows the trigger model flow for the resistor sorting example.
