2.3

Typical matrix switching schemes

The following paragraphs describe some basic switch-
ing schemes that are possible with a two-pole switch-
ing matrix. These switching schemes include some
various shielding con

gurations to help minimize

noise pick up in sensitive measurement applications.
These shields are shown connected to chassis ground.
For some test con

gurations, shielding may prove to

be more effective connected to circuit common. Chassis
ground is accessible at the rear panel of the Model 7001.

2.3.1 Single-ended switching

In the single-ended switching con

guration, the source

or measure instrument is connected to the DUT
through a single pathway as shown in Figure 2-4.
