Viewing and Editing Connections in the Connections Table (TSM)

Use the Connections table to view and edit connections and connection attributes. The Connections table includes a row for every connection that can be made with the available pins, relays, and sites.
  1. Navigate to Semiconductor Module » Edit Pin Map File to launch the Pin Map Editor.
  2. In the Pin Map tab, click Connections to open the Connections table.
  3. (Optional) Use the View Connections for drop-down menu to filter the table using one of the following categories.
    • All Pins and Relays
    • DUT Pins and Site Relays by Site
    • System Pins and Relays
  4. Optional: Click a column header to sort the column so you can navigate values faster.
    Column Name Description
    Pin For pins, the name of a device pin you connect to an instrument channel

    For relays, the name of a relay you connect to a control line on a relay driver module
    Site The test site or sites of the connection. After selecting an instrument or relay driver module in the Instrument column, enter a comma-separated list of site numbers to allow multiple sites to share the connection.
    Instrument For pins, the name of the instrument to connect

    For relays, the name of the relay driver module to connect

    Select <Disconnect> to remove the association between the pin and the instrument or the relay and the relay driver module.
    Channel For pins, an instrument channel number to assign to the pin

    For relays, a control line on a relay driver module or a digital output line on a DAQmx device used as a relay control line to assign to the relay
    Tester Channel Displays the tester channel (spring-pin block and spring pin on an STS) that a pin connects to
    Note This column is visible only when a TesterDefinition.xml is present in the C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\NI Tester Definitions directory. The cell is empty if the instrument channel the pin connects to is not present in TesterDefinition.xml.
    Multiplexer If applicable, specifies the multiplexer required to create the route
    Route If applicable, specifies the multiplexer route required to connect the pin and site to the instrument and channel
  5. Edit the values in the table directly or by using the drop-down menus.
