7.9. SORTING MODE
Sorting mode permits quick selection of components according to the measured reference value, an
individually adjustable reference value and speci
fi
ed tolerance areas. The parameter settings are
changed with the arrow buttons (7), (9), (11) and (13).
Proceed as follows to set the sorting mode:
Select the desired measuring function with the buttons “FUNC”. No sorting function can be selected in
the smart “AUTO LCR” mode.
Connect the reference component to the measuring input (17). If “OL” of a value of less than 200
counts is displayed (count = smallest displayed point independently of the decimal point, e.g.
1.99 = 199 counts), the sorting function cannot be selected.
Press the “SORTING” button (6) to activate sorting. The display shows “Sorting” and the measured
value is saved as a reference. The pre-set tolerance value is ±1%. When the tolerance speci
fi
cation
meets your criteria, continue with the sorting measurement. The test result is displayed in the main
display as “PASS” (measured value in the tolerance range) or “FAIL” (measured value outside of the
tolerance range). The subdisplay shows the measured value.
If you want to manually enter the reference value or change the tolerance, proceed as follows:
Push the button “SETUP” (10) to enter the settings for the measuring range, the reference value and
the tolerance. The settings are performed in sequence.
