NOTE Kelvin connection and non-Kelvin connection
If you want to simplify the connections, open the Sense terminals and use the Force
terminals only. This is the non-Kelvin connection. The Force terminals can be used to
apply and measure dc voltage or current. Note that the non-Kelvin connection is not
available for GNDU and HCSMU.
If you perform the low resistance measurement or the high current measurement, use the
Kelvin connection which can reduce the residual resistance effects of the cables and
contacts by connecting the Force and Sense lines together as close as possible to the DUT
terminal. The Kelvin connection can be made on the test fixture as shown in
Figure 2-3 .
