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.

Settings softkey
The
(settings) softkey returns to the binning menu, see Section 8.8.5.3, "Binning set-
tings", on page 113.
<filename>
Indicates the binning *csv the measurement is based on.
Counter
Indicates the number of measurements executed.
The R&S LCX increases the number with each trigger signal received and derives the
statistics from the results and the number of measurements.
You can reset the counter at any time directly on the touchscreen.

Primary - <param>
Indicates the latest measurement value for the first sorting characteristic.
Secondary - <param>
Indicates the latest measurement value for the second sorting characteristic.
Bins
Indicates the configured bins, including the range of each category, and the number of
measured values that fit into one of the categories. After each measurement, the
R&S LCX highlights the corresponding bin and also assigns a signal at the correspond-
ing pin of the digital output.
EOM ← Bins
Highlighted in red indicates the end of each individual measurement.
OUT ← Bins
Highlighted in red indicates that the measured values of the component do not fit in
any of the configured categories.
-- ← Bins
Unconfigured bin and thus not used for the measurement.
B1 to B6 (B8) ← Bins
Highlights when the measured values of the component fit in one of the configured cat-
egories.
Note: If you have configured the additional signals "Out of Bin" or "End of Measure-
ment", you can only define the remaining number of categories.
Histogram
Displays the percentage distribution over the bins.

8.8.5.5 Configuring and using the binning function
Configuring a binning file
To specify the file for the binning measurement, proceed as follows:
1. On a PC, open an application that can store data in *.csv format, e.g. a spread-
sheet program.
2. Specify the required parameters and values in the given order:
a) #Signal: configures the control signals you can optionally assign for output at
the digital interface.
Possible values are:
● EOM: end of measurement
● OOB: out of bin
● BOTH: assigns both the EOM and the OOB signal
If you enable both signals, the R&S LCX assigns the OOB signal to pin 7, and
EOM on pin 8. If you have only one signal enabled, it is assigned to pin 8.
b) #Measurement: sets the measurement parameter pair, e.g. Rs-X
c) #PrimaryFormat, #SecondaryFormat: determines the format the bin limits are
defined.
Possible values are:
● ABS: specifies the limits as minimum and maximum values, i.e. 990 Ω to
1010 Ω.
● NOMABS: specifies the limits as nominal value +-deviation as absolute
value, i.e. 1000 Ω +- 10 Ω.
● NOMPCT: specifies the nominal value as absolute value, and the deviation
as percentage, i.e. 1000 Ω +- 1 %.
d) Pri0, Pri1, Sec0, Sec1: column headings of the following upper and lower limits
for the primary and secondary formats. In the following lines, you then specify
the upper and lower limits for each bin.
For an example, see Binning configuration data for a resistor measurement.
3. Save the file as a *.csv file type on the USB memory device.
Note: Consider that the filename must start with binning_*, otherwise the
R&S LCX does not display the file in the directory.
