Set and Lock Bin Step (TSM)

Use the Set and Lock Bin step to use an expression to assign a software bin to a DUT and override the TSM automatic bin assignment.

Use the Bin Expression control on the Set and Lock Bin tab to specify an expression that evaluates at run time to a valid software bin number defined in the bin definitions file. The step assigns the software bin to the DUT and locks the bin. Once the bin is locked, subsequent failing tests on Semiconductor Multi Test steps report a run-time error.

Note The Set and Lock Bin step assigns the software bin to the DUT regardless of whether the test program previously assigned a different software bin to the DUT. An instance of the Set and Lock Bin step can override a bin assigned by a previous Set and Lock Bin step. Therefore, NI recommends that you use a Set and Lock Bin step only after all tests have executed.

You can use the Set and Lock Bin step to implement grading in a test program.
