1586A Users Manual Table 4-4. Automated Test Setup (cont.) Item Function  Turn on or turn off the control source on the rear-panel that connects to an external temperature source.  Set the target temperature (referred to as the setpoint). Set the tolerance band around the setpoint. For example, if a 3 °C tolerance was set for a 20 °C  setpoint, the tolerance band would be 20 °C ±3 °C. The reference probe temperature must be within this range for a scan to proceed. Set the temperature stability setpoint. Stability is achieved when the temperature is within the stability band for the Soaktime duration.  For example: A setpoint of 100 °C is configured with these parameters: Stability 0.05 °C, Soaktime 10 minutes. The Product will start the scan sweep when the tolerance is within range (see item ) and the peak-to-peak value of the measurement is less than 0.05 °C for 10 minutes (because of the 0.05 °C Stability and the 10 minute Soaktime). Sets the duration (in minutes) that each of the programmed SETPOINTS temperature is  maintained before scanning starts. The time starts when the temperature settles to within the specified stability.  Make a new setpoint.  Insert a new setpoint in a certain position in the list of setpoints. The new setpoint is inserted above the selected setpoint.  List of setpoints. Connect to An External Source Connect to an external source (the source) as follows: 1. Connect the accessory RS-232 cable to the rear-panel Temperature Source output on the Product. Connect the other end of the cable to the source. The cable must be a crossed (null modem) type. 2. Push . Use the  arrow to select Temperature Source then push . 3. Use the  or  arrows to select the baud rate of the source then push . Note Refer to the User Documentation of the source to find the baud rate. 4-18 MyFlukeStore Shop for Fluke products online at: www. .com 1.888.610.7664

Item
Function
Turn on or turn off the control source on the rear-panel that connects to an external temperature
source.
Set the target temperature (referred to as the setpoint).
Set the tolerance band around the setpoint. For example, if a 3
°
C tolerance was set for a 20
°
C
setpoint, the tolerance band would be 20
°
C
±
3
°
C. The reference probe temperature must be
within this range for a scan to proceed.
Set the temperature stability setpoint. Stability is achieved when the temperature is within the
stability band for the Soaktime duration.
For example: A setpoint of 100
°
C is configured with these parameters: Stability 0.05
°
C,
Soaktime 10 minutes. The Product will start the scan sweep when the tolerance is within range
(see item
) and the peak-to-peak value of the measurement is less than 0.05
°
C for 10 minutes
(because of the 0.05
°
C Stability and the 10 minute Soaktime).
Sets the duration (in minutes) that each of the programmed SETPOINTS temperature is
maintained before scanning starts. The time starts when the temperature settles to within the
specified stability.
Make a new setpoint.
Insert a new setpoint in a certain position in the list of setpoints. The new setpoint is inserted
above the selected setpoint.
List of setpoints.
Connect to An External Source
Connect to an external source (the source) as follows:
1.
Connect the accessory RS-232 cable to the rear-panel Temperature Source output on
the Product. Connect the other end of the cable to the source. The cable must be a
crossed (null modem) type.
2.
Push
. Use the
arrow to select Temperature Source then push
.
3.

or
arrows to select the baud rate of the source then push
.
Note
Refer to the User Documentation of the source to find the baud rate.
