The physical connections for the front and rear panels are shown in the following figures. Note that
you must use either the front terminals or rear terminals — you cannot mix connections.
The rear-terminal connections are triaxial. The front-panel connections are safety banana jacks.
Turn the power to the instrument off before attaching connections to the Model 2450.
The figure below shows the front-panel connections. You can make these connections with four
insulated banana cables (for example, two sets of the Keithley Instruments Model 8608 High
Performance Clip Lead Set).
