Contents of the *.csv file:
●
Up to 2 measurement parameters
●
The measured value range of each of the two parameters for the individual bin.
●
The value ranges of the measurement parameters defined for the corresponding
categories (up to 8 bins).
●
How the limits are specified:
– Minimum and maximum values
– Nominal value and percentage deviation
– Nominal and deviation value
●
Additional signals you want to have assigned at the output, i.e. end of measure-
ment, out of bin, both).
With the binning function enabled, the R&S LCX switches to measurement mode "trig-
gered" automatically. The measurement starts with the first trigger signal. You can
either trigger the measurement manually, using the [Trig.] key at the front or by sending
the remote command *TRG. It is also possible to apply an external trigger signal to the
"Trigger Input" connector at the rear of the instrument.
During the binning measurements, the R&S LCX is permanently in the triggered mode
and cannot be disabled.
How to: see Section 8.8.5.5, "Configuring and using the binning function",
on page 116.
For details on the trigger modes, see the specifications document, section "Digital trig-
ger and control interfaces".
8.8.5.2 Assignment of the binning interface
The digital I/O port of the binning interface is a 15-pole D-Sub female socket, including
eight data lines. The remaining pins provide digital input and output of control signals.

For details on the interface specification, see section "Digital trigger and control interfa-
ces" in the specifications document.

8.8.5.3 Binning settings
In the "Binning" menu, you can upload the binning file, and start the measurement.
Access:
1. Press the [settings] key at the front panel.
2. In the "Functions" tab, select "Binning".
Figure 8-27: Binning menu
In the initial softkey menu, you can load the binning file and activate the measure-
ment.
During the process, the main screen indicates the parameters related to the mea-
surement, and access to the bin configuration.
The required remote commands are described in Section 11.12, "HANDler subsystem",
on page 214.

8.8.5.4 Binning measurement settings
When you have enabled the binning measurement, the R&S LCX shows the binning
specific measurement results window on the screen.
Access:
1. Press the [settings] key at the front panel.
2. In the "Functions" tab, select "Binning".
3. Load the corresponding binning file as described in "Configuring a binning file"
on page 116 and "Loading the binning file" on page 117.
Figure 8-28: Binning measurement results window
This view shows the configuration parameters of the measurement and the bins for
sorting the measured components. A bar graph displays the distribution of the
measurement results graphically.
You can access the settings or reset the counter on the screen directly.
