warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. RTX A/S shall not be

liable for errors contained herein or for incidental or consequential damages about the

furnishings, performance, or use of this material.

Warranty

This instrument is warranted against defects in material and Workman ship for a period of

one year from date of shipment. During the warranty period, RTX A/S will at its option,

either repair or replace products, which prove to be defective. For warranty service or

repair, this product must be returned to a service facility designated by RTX A/S. Buyer

shall prepay shipping charges to RTX A/S and RTX A/S shall pay shipping charges, duties,

and taxes for products returned to RTX A/S from another country. RTX A/S warrants that

its software and firmware designated by RTX A/S for use with an instrument will execute

its programming instructions when properly installed on that instrument. RTX A/S does not

warrant that the operation of the instrument or firmware will be uninterrupted or error

free.

Limitation of Warranty

The foregoing warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from improper or inadequate

maintenance by Buyer, Buyer-supplied software or interfacing, unauthorized modification

or misuse, operation outside of the environmental specifications for the product, or im-

proper site preparation or maintenance.

NO OTHER WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.RTX A/S SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS

General information

This document and the information contained, is property of RTX A/S, Denmark.

Unauthorized copying is not allowed. The information in this document is believed to be

correct at the time of writing. RTX A/S reserves the right at any time to change said

content, circuitry and specifications.

The general safety precautions, according to the information provided in the RTX2300

User’s Manual, must be observed during all phases of operation. RTX A/S assumes no

liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

The purpose of the document is to provide guidance to users of the RTX2300 Smart ATE.

The User’s manual describes general functions of the test equipment and describes the use

of the related Windows® based interface, as well as interfacing with a production

application program.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 4

Safety information

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation

and service of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific

warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and

intended use of the instrument. RTX A/S assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to

comply with these requirements.

DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the pre-

sence of flammable gasses or fumes.

DO NOT use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse holders: For continued

protection against fire, replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the

same voltage and current rating and type.

DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless

you are qualified to do so – it is therefore strongly emphasized here that

operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or shields.

Procedures involving the removal of covers and shields are for use by

service-trained personnel at RTX A/S only.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 5

Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic test equipment. Working with

electronic components or test equipment should always be performed at a static-safe place.

High Voltage

Some power supplies can generate high voltage, which can damage the all the port of the

unit. To prevent damage to the RTX2300 Smart ATE please make sure that the device is

properly earthed.

User’s Manual V1.00 RTX2300 – Smart ATE 6

Documentation information

This User’s Manual contains essential items of information needed for general-purpose use

of the test equipment along with a detailed description for high throughput production

purposes. In this document you will find valuable information on how to unpack, install and

operate your RTX2300 Smart ATE unit.

The User’s Manual provides programming guidance to users of the RTX2300 Smart ATE

who would like to write their own test programs. A few examples on how to use the DLL

function calls in your source code are also outlined. However, please note that the

examples and code fragments are included for informational reasons only and should only

be used as a guidance to ease test program development. It is therefore strongly

emphasized here that RTX takes no responsibility for debugging and verification of the

actual test program developed by the customer.
