The Keysight E4980B-201 is the handler interface option for the E4980B.

When equipped with the Option 201 Handler Interface, the E4980B can interact with the handler. The 36-contact Amphenol connector on the rear panel is used to connect the interface, through which control input/output signals and comparator bin sorting result signals are communicated.

Option 201 outputs signals that indicate the end of a measurement cycle, the result of bin sorting by the comparator, and the result of Go/No-Go test by the list sweep comparator. In addition, the instrument accepts input of external trigger and key-lock signals. You can use these signals to easily integrate the instrument with a component handler or system controller. This means that you can fully automate such tasks as component inspection, component sorting, and processing of quality management data for higher manufacturing efficiency.

Please note, this option must be purchased with an instrument. E4980B sold separately.
