BINNING 6–1
6. BINNING
6.1 OVERVIEW
Binning allows components to be measured and then sorted into bins according to limits set by the
user. The 4300 Binning function allows three types of limits (Bin Types) to be defined, depending
on the number of parameters being measured. The Binning function is an option for the 4300 and
there are two versions available, /B1 (outputs non-isolated) and /B2 (outputs isolated). Throughout
this section, TERM1 and Func 1 mean the same, as do TERM 2 and Func 2.
6.2 BIN TYPES
Binning can be performed using the Term 1 and Term 2 measurements in three different ways:
Bin Type TERM1 TERM2 PASS/FAIL signal
One Term
Sort into 3 bins Not used BIN 0 = PASS
One Term Dual Limits
Term 1 same as Term 2: sort into 5 bins BIN 0, 3 & 4 = PASS
Two Term
Term1 & Term 2 any parameter: sort into 5
bins
BIN 0 = PASS
6.2.1 ONE TERM BIN TYPE
One Term binning only uses the TERM1 measurement with a Low Limit (LL1) and a High Limit
(HL1) to bin:
