95x Series Operating Manual - May 17, 2022

The following table contains a description of the signal on each pin in the connector. Each input and output signal
can be configured as the active level being low or high, or each input may be disabled.
CONFIGURING
The DIO interface may be configured from the front panel by using the DIGITAL I/O sub-menu of the CNFG menu as
follows –
• Ensure that the display indicates that the 95x is in the base menu state, i.e., the display shows the date
and time. If necessary, press the STOP button to abort a menu and return to the base menu state.
• Press the CNFG key.
• The display now shows the main configuration menu, an example of which is –

Internal +12VDC power source, internally fused 100mA (self-resetting)
Active whenever an unsafe voltage or current is present on the 95x
terminals
Common Reference signal for all digital inputs and outputs (Digital
Ground, internally connected to the 95x chassis ground)
Starts a test sequence when transitions inactive to active. This may also
be used to continue a test sequence when it is waiting for user
interaction (e.g., in a HOLD step, or programmed for a user terminated
test step). If the SEQUENCE input signals are not used to select a
sequence, then a sequence must have been already manually selected at
the front panel.
If the 95x is waiting for the front panel START button to be pressed while
running a test sequence (i.e., waiting for user interaction) then an
inactive to active transition of the START signal will also continue the
sequence.
Aborts a test sequence when active. This signal has priority over the
START signal; disabling it while ABORT is active.
Aborts a test sequence (high voltage or current steps only) when inactive
Initiates a Test Results Printout
Note – as of v2.02 firmware, this capability has not been implemented in
the 95x
These signals are only used at the instant of the START signals’ transition
which starts a sequence; they are ignored at all other times. Sequence #
0 through 15 is selected and run according to the state of these signals.
Active after the end of a sequence if passed
Active after the end of a sequence if failed
Active while running a sequence
Active during the dwell period of a measurement type of test
