Connections for testing
The following figure shows the physical connections for the
front panel. Note that you must use either the front terminals
or rear terminals — you cannot mix connections. The
rear-panel connections are made using screw terminals. The
front-panel connections are safety banana jacks.
The example in this guide shows you how to make
connections to the front panel and short the connections.
For this example, you can make the connections with the
insulated banana cables that are supplied with the 2461, the
Keithley Instruments Model 8608 High Performance Test
Leads.
To make connections for testing:
1.
Make sure the front-panel power switch is in the off (O)
position.
2. Connect the red lead to the FORCE HI connection.
3. Connect the black lead to the FORCE LO connection.
