This feature can help eliminate the risk of errors caused by repeated inputs while pacing up the expansion of the test stations of the production lines.
The tester has an interlock function which works as a safety protection hardware structure to allow users to connect external protection devices. The real panel has Signal I/O terminals along with RS-232C/USB ports. The series meets safety regulations: IEC, EN, UL, CSA, GB, JIS, and other safety regulations.
