4.3.2.1 Comparator Function ON/OFF
TH2816B's built-in comparator can sort devices into a maximum of 10 bins (BIN 1 to
BIN 9 and the OUT bin) using a maximum of 3 pairs of primary limits and one pair of
secondary parameter limits. Also, a device whose primary parameter is within limits,
but whose secondary parameter measurement result is not within limits can be sorted
into an AUXiliary BIN. The comparator function is especially useful when using
TH2816B with a component handler. These limit settings for bin sorting are only set
on the Limit Table page under SETUP menu. So this COMP field allows you to only
set the comparator function to ON or OFF.
Front Panel Operation for Setting the Comparator Function to ON or OFF
Perform the following steps to set the comparator function to ON or OFF.
1) Move the cursor to the COMP field. The following softkeys will be displayed.
ON
OFF
2) Use the softkeys to set the comparator function to ON or OFF.
4.3.2.2 Auxiliary Bin ON/OFF
When the secondary parameters affect the sorting results, the limits for the secondary
parameter can be set in 2nd LOW/HIGH fields. So there are four patterns for the
sorting area of the secondary parameter.
When the secondary parameter limits are not specified on the Limit Table page.
Devices will be sorted according to primary parameter comparison results.

Only devices with secondary limits are sorted by the primary parameter result.
Devices not within the secondary parameter limits are sorted OUT OF BINS even
if the device's primary parameter is within limits.
