BINNING 6–3
6.2.2 ONE TERM DUAL LIMITS BIN TYPE
One Term Dual Limits uses the 4300’s ability to set TERM1 & TERM2 to the same parameter.
This results in the same measurement being displayed twice, once as TERM1 and once as
TERM2. This means that two sets of limits can be applied to the one measurement, and more
bins can be used for increased information. A typical use for this feature is to bin using two
tolerance bands. The example below bins capacitors using ±5% and ±2% tolerances.
The following explanation still use TERM 1 and TERM 2, but for One Term Dual Limits
binning, TERM 1 and TERM 2 are the same measurement.
Two sets of limits are set, and LL2 and HL2 must lie within the region defined by LL1 and
HL1.
