Setting the Test Time

Background

This setting is used to set the test time for a test. The test time determines how long the test voltage or current is applied to the DUT. This test time does not include RAMP UP time or RAMP DOWN time (note: GB and CONT do not have RAMP UP or RAMP DOWN). The test time can be set from 0.3 seconds to 999.9 seconds for ACW, DCW, IR, GB and CONT, with a resolution of 0.1 seconds for all modes. Also, the test time can be turned off when using the ACW or DCW test functions.
Each test has a RAMP UP and RAMP DOWN time (except GB and CONT), respectively. Refer to page 47 & 49 for more details.

Setting the Grounding Mode

Background

When GROUND MODE is set to ON, the GPT10000 grounds the return terminal to the ground. This mode is best for DUTs that are grounded to an earth ground by their chassis, fixtures or operation environment. This mode measures the potential of the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal with respect to earth ground. This means that additional noise which leaks to earth ground will also be measured. This is the safest testing mode, though potentially not as accurate.
When GROUND MODE is set to OFF, the return terminal is floating with respect to the earth ground. This mode is for DUTs that are floating and not directly connected to an earth ground. This is more accurate than when GROUND MODE is set to ON as less noise will be measured. For this reason, this testing mode is able to measure with better stability.

Special MANU Test Mode (000)

Special Test Mode Overview

When MANU number 000 is selected, the special test mode is activated. Under the special test mode, the voltage can be changed during a test in real time (ACW, DCW only). The test function can also be changed when in READY status, unlike under normal operation.

Separate settings can be saved under the special test mode for each of the testing functions: ACW, DCW, IR, GB and CONT. This means different test setups for ACW, DCW, IR, GB and CONT can be saved within the MANU number 000 concurrently.

Steps

1. Choose MANU number 000 to enter the special test mode.

Page 41

2. The settings of a previous test can be loaded by pressing the corresponding soft-keys on the front panel.

For example, if you are currently in DCW mode, pressing the ACW key will load the ACW settings that were previously stored in the special manual mode.

Sweep Function

Sweep Function Overview
92

The GPT-10000 Series has access to the sweep mode function, which creates a graph of one of the ACW, DCW, IR, GB or CONT tests in either Manual test or the special MANU mode. The graph will plot the output voltage, current or resistance versus time. After the test has been completed, the test current, voltage or resistance at any point in time can be fetched and viewed in the graph.

Below is an example of the resultant sweep plot of a DCW test where a DC voltage is ramped up to a user-defined level until the HI SET current level has been tripped or the test time runs out.

Control Settings

Description 130

The Control settings include 7 options: Control By, Double Action, Key Lock, Interlock, Start Click For 1 Second, Power GND Check and Barcode Function Setting.
Control By is used to determine how a test is started. Tests can be started via the front panel (START/STOP buttons), from a remote controller or via the SIGNAL I/O port.
The Double Action function is a safety feature used to prevent accidentally starting a test. Normally to start a test, the START button is pressed when the tester is in the READY status. To start a test when Double Action is ON, the STOP button must first be pressed, followed by the START button within 500ms.
Key Lock disables the front panel keys from changing the test number, mode or testing parameters. Only the START & STOP buttons required for testing are not disabled. Also, the SYSTEM button remains functional for user to return back to the system setting.
The Interlock function is a safety feature. The interlock function prevents a test from running, unless the interlock pins on the signal I/O port connector are shorted. The included interlock key can be used for this purpose. See page 171 for details.
The Start Click For 1 Second indicates another safety feature that requires the START button being pressed for 1 second so that a test, whether MANU or AUTO, can be started.

· The tester will not turn on. · The panel keys are not working. · The measured value of IR, GB or Continuity test does not match the
specification. · When I press the START button the tester will not start testing?
The tester will not turn on?
Ensure the power cord is connected. Check and make sure the fuse is not blown and properly installed. See page 242.
The panel keys are not working?
Ensure the tester is not in the SIGNAL I/O or Remote Control mode (page 129). If it is, refer to page 177 for how to return to front panel control. Also, if Key Lock is enabled, all panel keys except START and STOP are disabled. Refer to page 130 for details.
The measured value of IR test does not match the specification?
Make sure the tester is powered on for warm-up of at least 30 minutes, within +15°C~+35°C. This is necessary to stabilize the tester to match the specification. After warm-up, please proceed to Contact Check procedure.
The measured value of GB test does not match the specification?
Make sure the tester is powered on for warm-up of at least 30 minutes, within +15°C~+35°C. This is necessary to stabilize the
239

GPT-10000 Series User Manual tester to match the specification. After warm-up, please proceed to Zero Check procedure. Refer to page 70 for details.

FAQ
When I press the START button the tester will not start testing?
The tester must first be in the READY status before a test can be started. Ensure the tester displays READY before pressing the START button, page 80 (manual test), 107 (automatic test). If Double Action is enabled, the START button must be pressed within 0.5 seconds after the STOP button is pressed, otherwise the tester will not start testing. If Interlock is enabled, the interlock key must be inserted into the signal I/O port on the rear before a test starts. See page 171. Lastly, if Start Click For 1 Second is enabled, it is required to press and hold the START button for 1 second above to initiate a test. Pressing the START button below 1 second will not start a test. For more information, contact your local dealer or GWInstek at www.gwinstek.com / marketing@goodwill.com.tw.
