To allow many parallel connections to one instrument, stack the connectors. Two screws are
located on each connector to ensure that connections remain secure.

To avoid possible mechanical damage, stack no more than three connectors on any one unit. To
minimize interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, use only shielded IEEE-488 cables.
Available shielded cables from Keithley Instruments are listed in
in
Section 1.
To connect the SourceMeter to the IEEE-488 bus, line up the cable connector with the connector
located on the rear panel. Install and tighten the screws securely, making sure not to overtighten
them (
