Separation of the power supply for the 3156 and
the line for the equipment being tested
The power supply voltage for the 3156 does not need to
be changed, even if the supply voltage for the equipment
being tested is different. The difference can be managed
by controlling the line supply voltage for the equipment
being tested. This helps prevent malfunctions due to the
wrong voltage being input for the 3156 power supply.

External control through EXT I/O
The start of measurement and the loading of the measuring
conditions can be controlled externally. The evaluation
results, test signals, etc., can also be output externally,
permitting the construction of an automated line.

: Continues to output a low signal during automatic measurement
: Outputs the count when measuring multiple items during
automatic measurement
: Outputs the evaluation result "PASS" for individual items
during automatic measurement
: Outputs the evaluation result "FAIL" for individual items
during automatic measurement
: Continues output even if a FAIL occurs during automatic testing.
: Internal 5V DC output (not insulated from internal circuitry)
: Internal GND output (identical to rack grounded GND level)

Inputs
START
: Starts automatic measurement when low
STOP
: Forcibly ends measurement when low
LOAD (0 to 4): Loads a saved panel (30 panels)
0ADJ
: Zero adjust signal (valid only in ground leak current mode)
EXT.DCV : External power supply input (5V to 24V DC)
EXT.COM : External COM input
In addition to outputting evaluation results for each
measurement item, the T-FAIL output is provided for
continued output after one FAIL during automatic testing.
External control through a PC
Includes RS-232C interface and GP-IB interface as
standard. These can be used to control the functions of
the 3156 through a PC, and to collect measurement
values.
