CURRENT SOURCE CONNECTION SCHEMATIC
Outlined below is an example of a typical current source device connected to the 6530.
Note that the known voltage source is not required or used and the current is actively
driven from the unknown current source to the electrometer to be measured. While many
current sources are referenced to chassis ground, some may not be. Use caution and refer
to your current source documentation when connecting these devices. Current sources
that do not use chassis ground as a reference should only be connected to the inner shield
of the 6530 Input connector.
