Chapter 1 Introduction

This user's guide provides installation, operation and maintenance information for all 3000B Series Handlers. The E for a wide variety of package types ~ both surface mount and through-hole technologies ~ using Snap-On Changeover Kits to convert from one device size to another.

XATRON

Model 3000B Overview

____________________________________________________________________________

XATRON'S

E temperature programming/test sites, elevated temperature soak tracks and up to eight automatic device inputs and outputs. The E (including compatibility with most older 3000 Series Changeover Kits) and incorporates many technological advances developed from the Series 5000 Production Handling Systems. The improved performance, reduced size, and classic flat-back bench-top style of the Model 3000B provide the ideal solution for medium to high volume automated test and programming applications.

Blank/untested devices are loaded in tubes at the top of the handler then indexed to a test contact mechanism. Among the standard choices, the customer may select special SMD (Surface Mount Device) test sites which plunge the Device Under Test (DUT) up to 1.5 inches past the back of the handler to a load board. Programming and testing take place here, using any of several types of programmers and testers. The devices are sorted by "Pass" and "Fail" categories after each test. After testing, failed devices are sorted into reject tubes. Devices which pass the test stage are sorted to the output tubes for retrieval by the operator.

The Model 3000B handler operation is constantly monitored by its STD Bus CPU. Once a device enters the handler, it is tracked by sensors as it passes through every step until it is positively placed in the correct output tube. If a device jam should occur, an appropriate error message will be displayed on the handler controller's front panel microterminal. Most jams may be cleared by pressing the

[Clear]

buttons on the front panel.

[RUN]

www.exatron.com 1-1 Chapter 1 Introduction

Exatron 3000B

The handler may be operated in either of two modes: AUTO or MANUAL. MANUAL operation allows for Handler Diagnostics sequences to be run, Handler Set-Up changes to be entered, and mechanical adjustments to be made at the operator's convenience before, during, and after automatic Handler operation.

AUTO operation continuously cycles devices through the handler. The handler will stop when empty but re-start automatically when more devices are loaded. Each output tube may be filled to any pre-set amount, with individual counters keeping track of quantities in all outputs. When an output tube fills, the handler automatically begins to fill any other unfilled tube assigned to the sort signal received from the tester. When all output tubes are filled, the handler will stop and a message will be displayed, such as,

ALL OUTPUTS FULL

an empty tube. The handler will not cycle devices to outputs which have no tubes or which are full. Additionally, a continuous subtotal count is maintained for each output, up to a total of 999,999 devices.

Sorting is accomplished by use of a stepper motor and a solenoid released shuttle. Dual positive binning sensors keep track of the shuttle's position at all times. In the event of a sorting problem, a message will be displayed on the handler's front panel, and the device will not be binned until the problem is corrected.

The Model 3000B

with Eight Automatic Inputs

XATRON'S

E comes equipped with this octoloader which is a moving metal plate holding up to eight tubes of devices, controlled by the handler's CPU by means of a stepper motor. The plate automatically moves both left and right, positioning each tube of devices over the handler input track. When the input track is emptied, the octoloader automatically searches for tubes with devices. The octoloader has a sensor mounted at its junction with the input track. The octoloader can "see" a device jam and stop its own movement to prevent breaking the jammed device. The octoloader also has an automatic "wiggle" jam-clearing operation which it will implement immediately in an effort to remove the jam without operator assistance.

eight-tube Octoloader is an ambient automatic eight-tube loader. The standard Model 3000B

Model 3000B octoloaders use a Snap-On plate which is specifically fitted with tube holders for a given device application.

All Model 3000B Handlers not intended to be used on a "FRED," (Free Rolling E

XATRON

Dolly) are supplied with bench-top base plates which must be bolted directly to a bench or table top to secure the handler. Each plate includes two sets of tilt bars which enable the handler's tilt angle to be altered for specific applications. The tilt angle is critical for ceramic DIPs and LCCs since too much drop angle may cause chipping of the packages.

Chapter 2 Installation

Basic installation of your new Exatron handler will consist of the following three major steps:

I. Unpacking the handling equipment and assembling its peripheral parts.

II. Powering up the handler and running Diagnostics sequences.

III. Cycling sample tubes of devices.

These multi-part steps are described in detail below. After these steps are completed you will be ready to interface the handler to your tester/prom programmer as described in chapter 3, interface information.

Please read and understand this entire User's Manual before installing or using your Exatron handler. The following safety procedures must be followed at all times.

Exatron Safety Features

____________________________________________________________________________

Electrical Hazards

High Voltage Testing Applications:

every handler we make prior to shipment. In some cases, the handler will be used to test devices at high voltages. If your handler will be used to test devices with voltages in excess of 80 VDC or 80 VAC, the handler will need to be equipped with safety covers.

If Exatron is notified of high voltage requirements as described above on the written purchase order at the time of order placement, we will equip your handler with safety covers having electrical interlock switches. These switches are intended to be utilized by the operator by connecting them to the customer-supplied tester. When the interlock switch is open, the tester will be shut down with no possibility of high voltage at the handler's contacts. All safety hardware should be verified for proper operation by the customer's own in-house safety officer.

If you intend to use this handler for high voltage testing, notify Exatron immediately and place an order for safety covers, if this has not already been done. Added safety covers will be provided at additional cost to the user.

If your Exatron handler is equipped with safety covers, never operate the handler without them. Never remove the safety covers. Never defeat any electrical interlock switch supplied with the handler.

High Internal Voltages:

electronics -- with the exception of the Model 3010B Hot Rail.

High voltage from the building line current is present in the Exatron remote 3000B power supply. Only qualified service technicians should do any repair work on the power supply. Make sure to use qualified service technicians when attempting to repair any portion of the handler that uses high electrical voltages.

In most cases, there are no high voltages used inside the Model 3000B handler

It is the policy of Exatron to determine the precise application for

www.exatron.com 2-1 Chapter 2 Installation

Exatron 3000B

Compressed Air

Your Exatron handler may require a compressed air supply. If your specific changeover kit requires compressed air, connect the handler to an 80 PSI (+/- 3PSI) air source. Please refer to the "Air Requirements" section of the Model 3000B General Operating Specifications for further details.

Using compressed air can be hazardous. It is the responsibility of the customer to properly train all handler operators in every aspect of the safety practices associated with the use of compressed air.

NEVER operate any Exatron equipment which requires compressed air without an approved air regulator and shutoff valve.

Moving Parts

Most moving parts of the Model 3000B handler have structural covers.

Overall System Safety

Typically, the handler is simply one part of a complete test system. It is the responsibility of the user to properly train all handler operators in all of the safety practices required for every component of the test system.

Unpacking, Assembling

Your Model 3000B handler has been shipped to you in specially designed containers which should be safely stored away. If it should become necessary to return the handler to Exatron, these original shipping containers must be used. Exatron assumes no responsibility for damage during return shipment caused by improper packing of the handler. If the shipping cartons become misplaced or damaged, new shipping cartons may be ordered from Exatron.

General Operating Specifications

Electrical Requirements



Handlers shipped either within the United States or off-shore have built-in electrical supply capability for 100VAC to 240VAC, 50Hz to 60Hz, except in the case of the Model 3010B Hot Rail. The Hot Rail thermocouple card contains either a 50Hz crystal or 60 Hz crystal, which must be specified by the customer.



Model 3010B Hot Rails operating at 240 VAC require an optional step-down transformer for the handler's heaters.



Connect the power cord to earth-grounded power outlets only.



If the handler is to be used in an electrically noisy environment or near large electromechanical equipment, Exatron recommends the use of a reliable power conditioner to filter line noise, surges, and spikes which can cause the handler to operate improperly or become damaged.



Ambient handlers require 3 Amps at 110 VAC. Handlers with Hot Rails require 7 Amps at 110 VAC.

Electricity supplied to the handler must be within the specified operating ranges. If the line voltage drops too low, the handler may not function properly or may be seriously damaged. Verify that correct operating line voltage is present. If it is not, contact Exatron for assistance.

SERVICE CALLS MADE TO THE CUSTOMER FACILITY TO CORRECT PROBLEMS CAUSED BY IMPROPER ELECTRICAL SUPPLY ARE NOT COVERED BY THE EXATRON WARRANTY.

Air Requirements



Depending upon the type of Changeover Kit used, the Model 3000B may require a filtered air pressure supply of 80 psi/5 cfm (+/- 3 PSI). This air supply must be Clean: containing no particulate matter greater than 5 microns in size; Dry: having a dew point of 36° F to 38° F; and free of any oil. To maintain these levels of pressurized air quality, replace the coalescing air filter (Exatron part #GPA-97-075) in the air regulator of your handler after every 6000 hours or 12 months of operation, whichever comes first; or if your air regulator registers a pressure drop of 15 psi.



Moisture of any kind will travel through external and internal air lines. This moisture will coat these air lines and the insides of the handler's cylinders, causing them to stick or to stop functioning altogether. The best defense against this kind of contaminate is to prevent it from occurring in the first place by maintaining the clean air supply described above.



If the air lines are allowed to become discolored or the moisture traps become overfilled, damage to the system will occur. The only corrective action to take at that point is to replace all of the air lines and to completely clean all of the solenoids supplied by those air lines.

relation to the benchtop. This makes the handler unstable if not bolted down, which could result in the handler being knocked over. This can cause serious damage to the handler and injury to the user.

This machine should be installed in a dust-free environment to preclude dust and dirt particles from contaminating its moving parts, especially those parts which come into contact with the devices being tested. The life of your handler is greatly enhanced by keeping it as clean as possible.

This Model 3000B handler should be placed as close as possible to your tester test socket, since cable length from the contactor to the tester is critical in most applications. Please refer to Chapter 3 Interface Information, for further details.

As specified in the table shown below, Exatron handlers are designed to withstand the impact of virtually any climate and/or environment that they may be used in. Periodic maintenance as prescribed in Chapter 7 of this manual will ensure that emergency "down time" is kept to a minimum.

The handler's center of gravity is fairly high in

Handler/Hot Rail Handler with Printer

Relative Humidity

Airborne dust and moisture, if present, will naturally settle on all surfaces of your handler. If allowed to build up, dust can eventually block sensors, clog solenoids, fill up the filters of cooling fans, vacuum generators, air filters and generally inhibit the smooth movement of devices through the handler.

The best defense against this kind of contaminate is to install and use your handler in a dust-free environment to preclude dust and dirt particles from contaminating its moving parts, especially those parts which come into contact with the devices being tested. If dust is a factor in your operating environment, dust the handler off with blasts of compressed air at least every 8 hours. Make sure that the compressed air is clean, dry and free of any oil.

ESD Grounding

All Model 3000B Handlers meet or exceed all known device manufacturers' ESD specifications. All 3000B Series Handler chassis' are directly connected through the power supply to earth ground. All guide rails, shuttles, tube holders, hot rails and output trays are connected to earth ground. The handler's power supply ground is directly connected to earth ground. The handler power supply MUST be connected to a properly grounded power outlet. NEVER operate the handler with the power line ground removed or defeated.

All handler main plates, covers and non-trackwork handler parts are plated with conductive finishes. Exatron uses a very limited quantity of anodizing finishes on handler surfaces.

Exatron 3000B

DUT Materials

Device Under Test

Component packages vary in the materials from which they're made. The composition and size of packages can cause wear on the parts of the handler with which they come into contact. Heavy, roughsurfaced DUTs will cause handler wear faster than lighter, smoother materials.

The best defense against the effects of the DUT material on a handler is to ensure that the handler is properly adjusted for the package it is running. The height of the handler door over the DUT should be as close as possible. The test site contacts should close on the DUT with enough pressure to provide good electrical contact, but not press hard enough to force the DUT to the left or the right of the test site rail. If you have any questions regarding handler adjustment issues, please contact the Exatron Customer Service Department.

If your handler does experience high levels of wear due to device materials, this will generally occur at specific points on the handler. If you wish, you may send worn-out equipment parts back to Exatron for evaluation. In many cases, the excessive wear can be reduced by design changes or material/finish changes. It is possible that the point which wears out can be modified into an insert which can be easily replaced as required.

Tilt Mechanism - Table Top Mounting

A tilt mechanism is built into your Model 3000B table top handler. The slide angle may be adjusted from 12° to 60° from vertical. The tilt mechanism is easily removed as needed for large test head interfaces. The Free Rolling Exatron Dolly (FRED) has its own built-in tilt mechanism.

The slide angle may need to be adjusted when large ceramic devices are to be tested. This is because ceramic devices may chip or crack upon impact with other devices. Decreasing the slide angle increases drag and slows the device down as it passes through the handler and into the output tube, which minimizes chipping from impact. Depending upon the mass and shape of a specific ceramic device, the angle may need to be reduced.

The handler cycle timing is sensor-controlled, so the cycle speed will be automatically slowed to match that of the devices. The recommended angle for all plastic devices is 12° from vertical. The maximum slide angle for PLCC devices is 45° from vertical.

NOTE: Ceramic device damage may be minimized by use of bumpers which attach directly to each device. Some types of these bumpers will run through a standard Exatron handler. In some cases, custom rails may be required.

assembly snaps onto the handler for easy conversion from one device size/type to another.

The Octoloader is a moving plate that holds tubes of devices and is controlled by the handler’s CPU via a stepper motor. During production, the plate automatically moves from side to side, positioning each tube above the handler input track. When the input track becomes empty, the Octoloader automatically searches for tubes with devices. A sensor mounted at the junction of the input track allows the Octoloader to “see” a device jam, if one occurs. The Octoloader will then stop moving to prevent damage to the jammed device. In addition, the Octoloader has an automatic “wiggle” cycle that will attempt to clear the jam automatically, without operator assistance.

TO INSTALL FULL TUBES INTO THE OCTOLOADER:

1. Tubes are installed upside down into the Octoloader.

2. Raise the blue anodized tube gates, if present on the Octoloader, so that they are in the open or “up”

Chapter 3 Interface Information

OVERVIEW

The test site on the Handler may be interfaced to virtually any programmer and/or tester available. Some interfaces require custom configuration prior to shipment but the only requirement for a given programmer or tester is that it be capable of issuing and accepting commands to and from the handler or the system controller. There are two basic parts to the handler's interface with your programmer/tester.

The first part is the "DUT Interface."

tester's test socket. There are many ways to accomplish this, depending upon application and type of changeover kit. A direct dock interface which connects the tester directly to the handler contacts provides the best performance, although other interface methods are available. In most cases, the hardware required for the DUT Interface will be built and installed at E Interface will not be discussed in this section of the user's guide.

The second basic part to every interface is the "Control Interface."

If set to handler will stop on a failure and allow the operator to retest the device again and again, as often as desired. This is very useful when calibrating test fixtures and programs.

Handler Binning Setup

I.Introduction:

XATRON

E equipment. Selecting which output bins the handler will then put your devices in is accomplished by programming the handler to match physical output bins to tester sort results. The tester sort signals will come into the handler via the Parallel Port or the RS232 Port. Please refer to the Interface Information chapter of this manual for further reference on tester-handler communication.

II. Designing Bin Assignments:

A. Pass, Retest, Fail

Typically, there are three main categories of test results: devices that pass test, devices that definitely fail test, and devices that may or may not have failed. This last category is best understood as continuity errors, missed contacts, devices in test during power outages, etc. These are devices which may in fact be good devices but which need to be retested.

handlers are designed to accept as many as eight sort messages from your tester/programmer

If the test program in use is designed to differentiate between fail and retest devices, then E recommends bin 5 as the retest bin. Assign bins 4 and/or 6 as the positive fail bins in this situation. Where no differentiation is made between fail and retest devices, then assign bin 5 for these devices.

B. Positive Binning

Positive binning is the concept of designing the bin assignments to minimize the ill effects of accidental binning errors. All E to say absolutely that no mis-bins will ever occur. As a defense against accidental mis-binning, it is generally considered bad practice to carry “fail” or “retest” devices to their bins over the tops of any good device bin. It is better to accidentally drop a good device in a fail bin than to accidentally drop a failed device in a good bin.

Looking at the above diagram, it would be inappropriate to put anything but “retest” or “fail” devices in bin

5. If bin 5 is assigned as a good bin, then some other bin must be assigned as a fail bin. It would then be necessary to carry a failed device across the good bin 5 to some other location. This is not recommended.

XATRON

handlers have very substantial mis-binning protection built in. It is impossible

Output from

Shuttle, moves over

Bins

XATRON

If your test results provide for grades, then the best grades should be in the outside bins, with lower grades toward the inside. If a highest-rated device is accidentally dropped in a lower-grade bin, that is not as bad a problem as if a lower grade device is dropped in a higher-grade bin.

C. Unused Sort Signals

It is wise to always assign the “retest” tube as the output for unused sort signals. This acts as a defense against “ghost” signals which may occur as a result of tester interface “noise” or power fluctuations.

III. Finding Bin Assignment Data:

To figure out the correct binning data for your desired tube outputs, please consult the

- Bin Sort Data Worksheet”

which accompanies this document.

“ Test Signal

Exatron 3000B

IV. Storing Bin Assignments in Handler Memory:

The handler uses a look-up table to assign handler output bins/tubes to tester sort signals. The output tube parameters are stored as a two digit hexadecimal number in the handler’s memory (e.g.: “E5”). The first digit describes what happens with tubes numbered five through eight, and the second digit describes what happens with tubes numbered one to four. The first digit is called the “Most Significant Bit” and the second, the “Least Significant Bit.”

You will need to edit the memory addresses in the handler’s battery backed-up RAM to store your desired binning data. A chart with all relevant memory addresses is shown at the end of this document and on the Test Signal - Bin Sort Data Worksheet.

To edit the Handler memory from the front panel display, follow this procedure:

ANDLER PORT INTERFACE

The handler first moves a device into the test site. After allowing time for the device to settle, ( this settling time is programmable; use address 0097) the test head plunger picks up the device and plunges it down toward the contactors. Then the handler issues a start pulse (Pin 10) to the tester. The start pulse width is programmable, (address 0098) but will be pre-set to 20 milliseconds. This pulse is normally High (+5) and goes Low for the pulse width. There is an additional signal available on Pin 22. This testing signal will go Low for the duration of the test. It will go Low at the start of the start pulse and will not go High again until the handler receives a sort signal.

TEST TIME

To complete the test, the tester must send back one of eight sort signals. These signals must be normally High and go Low for at least two milliseconds. The sorts must appear on Pin 1 through Pin 8 on the handler port connector. We recommend that you use Pin 1 for PASS and Pin 2 for FAIL when using the handler in PASS/FAIL applications.

The Input Sort is connected to a PAL device which "latches" the signal. The latch sets the falling edge of the sort signal ON. Make certain that your interface does not allow fast "glitches" which may become latched, causing the handler to mis-sort. If desired, the PAL may be modified to one that requires an "End of Test" edge as well. Further details are provided in the Handler Port Options section later in this chapter.

START PULSE WIDTH: ADDRESS 0098

This delay controls the Start of Test pulse width. The delay counts down in HEX, in 1 millisecond steps. The standard default is "14." This sets the start test pulse width to 20 milliseconds. On interfaces using a PC to control the handler, a longer start pulse width may be required to guarantee that the PC sees the start test pulse from the handler.

CHECK SORT RESET: ADDRESS 00A6

00 = On FF = Off

The Check Sort Reset feature should always be used on handlers which are employing the Handler Port interface. This check verifies that all Sort signals to the handler are turned off at the end of the Start pulse (all Sorts are at Logic High.)

Occasions may arise during operation of the Handler Port interface when the handler sends a Start pulse to the tester but the tester either does not see the Start signal, or the tester fails to clear the previous Sort signal. In the latter case, the previous Tester Sort signal is still active at the end of the Handler's current Start pulse. The handler correctly responds to the previous Sort signal, which means that the current device under test (DUT) will not be tested and will be mis-sorted. It may appear to the

www.exatron.com 3-12 Chapter 3 Interface Info

For correct use of the handler’s standard start pulse, the tester must reset all sort signals to Logic

High on the leading/falling edge of the standard start pulse. The handler resets its input sort latch on the rising edge of the start pulse. At that instant in time, if any sort signals are still present from the tester, they will be latched into the handler’s sort latch. This could cause the handler to sort an untested device to an output bin based on the previous tester bin result. In many cases, the mechanical motion of the handler will allow both the previous bin result plus the new bin result to be latched into the handler’s sort latch. This will result in a handler’s output cover LEDs will flash the input error combination. Typically, a Pass and a Fail input will flash at the same time.

Exatron Super

The Exatron Super interface allows for computer control of the handler, tester/programmer, and label/laser marker as a complete system. This interface uses the handler’s RS-232 Control Port to communicate with the controlling computer running Exatron E5000 laser software or Exatron Label Maker software. The actual connection to the computer is usually COM1, COM3, or the first port on the Digiboard I/O box. This may vary depending upon your handler's configuration.

All aspects of production are controlled by the computer carrying out instructions as they are defined in a file called a "Job." Job files may be created, edited and saved as desired by the operator.

All serial connections are 25 pin to 25 pin “straight through.” If a special cable is needed for your programmer/tester, please provide Exatron with the pin out configuration or the cable itself, so that we may furnish compatible interface hardware.

The communications settings are fixed in the firmware at serial devices connected to the Exatron controlling computer should be so configured.

The connector on the handler is a 25 pin RS-232-type “D” connector with female pins. The mating connector on the interface cable must use male pins. The RS-232 side panel port uses the following pins:

GROUND

Pin Pin 2 = Pin Pin

Typically this cable is wired one to one (1 : 1) to the RS-232 port on the back of a PC using a 25 pin RS232 connector. If your PC uses a 9 pin RS-232 port, then, typically use a straight through interface cable.

HP RS-232:

The HP RS-232 interface was originally added to the Model 5000 handler at the request of one of Exatron’s customers at Hewlett Packard. The customer wanted to use the basic Exatron RS-232 Interface with some additional information sent from the handler to the computer controlling the customer’s tester. This information adds to the basic Exatron RS-232 commands which we have incorporated into our Series 5000 and Series 3000B handlers.

The way in which the handler starts and ends each test cycle for the H P RS-232 Interface is the same as for the Exatron RS-232 Interface, described in the basic handler/CPU test cycle handshake above. The following explains in detail the additional H P RS-232 commands:

1. Handler sends a "$G [cr]” Handler is running; light pole if present, is set to GREEN.

2. Handler sends a "$R [space] (16 ASCII character string [cr]" The light pole, if present, has turned

RED: Handler error message.

3. Handler sends a “$Y [space] (16 ASCII character string) [cr]” The light pole, if present, has turned

YELLOW: Handler error message

4. Handler sends a "$B [space] (16 ASCII character string) [cr]" The light pole, if present, has turned

BLUE: Bin information will be displayed.

5. Handler sends a “$L [space] PART DROPPED ? [cr]” The light pole, if present, has turned RED:

Operator to check for handler mis-cycle.

6. Handler sends a “$E [space] EMPTY/LOAD PART [cr]” The light pole, if present, has turned

YELLOW: Handler is empty; the operator should load devices into the handler and press the Enter button.

The handler will send out message strings at various times during the handling cycle and upon all error/jam conditions. All of these strings will start with a “$” (dollar sign) and end with a “[cr]” (carriage return.) The handler does not require any input back from the tester’s computer. The handler sends these messages to the computer as FYI information only.

After the “$” (dollar sign) there will be an upper case ASCII letter. This letter may indicate the status of the handler’s light pole. (The light pole is optional equipment, obtained by special order.) Other letters are used for specific error conditions. Except in the case of a “G,” the handler will then follow the ASCII letter with a “[space]” and then with an up to 16 character upper case ASCII error message string. The final character in the communication from the handler will always be a “[cr]” (carriage return.)

Message String Details:

for GREEN - handler is running normally. No operator action is required.

for RED - the handler is stopped with a serious jam condition and requires operator assistance. If your handler is sending excessive RED error messages, check that the handler is properly set up and is in good working order.

for YELLOW - the handler is stopped but not jammed. The operator should check the handler and

restart its operation. Yellow errors include the handler being in

Chapter 5 Handler Diagnostics

OVERVIEW

This chapter describes the operation of the handler's extensive built-in diagnostics. These Diagnostics allow every sensor, solenoid, switch, motor, and I/O Port in the handler to be individually tested. Use these checks to troubleshoot any problem the handler may have.

ENTERING DIAGNOSTICS MODE

Although no tools are required, an EXATRON LED checker, part #3000-052, (small blue plastic box) will be helpful in troubleshooting broken sensor/LED pairs and for testing the handler control port.

You may also enter Diagnostics Mode during most automatic device jam-clearing cycles, when the output tube cover LEDs are flashing. If Diagnostics Mode is accessed during a jam, the handler will exit its automatic jam-clearing cycle and enter Diagnostics. When Diagnostics procedures are complete, the handler will return to its previous place in the program, upon exiting Diagnostics. In most cases, if the jam is cleared during Diagnostics, the handler will also automatically restart after returning from Diagnostics.

NOTE: On some custom machines there are more options available inside DIAGNOSTICS. See the supplement at the end of this manual for all the functions available on your particular handler.
