Introduction
This section discusses front panel triggering, trigger configuration, and external triggering, including
example setups.
Voltage measurements
The Keithley Instruments Model 6517B Electrometer can make unguarded or guarded voltage
measurements from 1 µV to 210 V. Guard should be used if response time or leakage resistance is a
consideration.
