Set up remote communications
This application is configured to run remotely. You can run this application from any of the supported
communication interfaces for the instrument (GPIB, USB, or ethernet).
The following figure shows the rear-panel connection locations for the remote communication
interfaces. For additional information about how to set up remote communications, see
Remote
communications interfaces (on page 3-1).

Device connections
For best measurement accuracy and to eliminate the effects of test lead resistance when sourcing
high current, connect the Model 2460 to the device under test (DUT) using the 4-wire sense method.
To use the 4-wire sense connection method:
•
Connect the FORCE HI and SENSE HI leads to the anode terminal of the LED.
•
Connect the FORCE LO and SENSE LO leads to the cathode terminal of the LED.
•
Make the connections as close to the DUT as possible to exclude the test-lead resistance from
the measurement.
