confined to the same matrix crosspoint. Each terminal of the
instrument can be connected to any matrix crosspoint. The
LO terminals of the matrix card are used as a shield. The clo-
sure of a single crosspoint will not connect an instrument to
a DUT.
2.3.3 Sensing
Figure 2-5 shows how the matrix card can be configured to
use instruments that have remote sensing capability. Sensing
is used to cancel the effects of matrix card path resistance
(<1.5) and the resistance of external cabling. Remote sensing
should be used when path resistance needs to be considered.

Typical matrix switching schemes
The following paragraphs describe basic switching schemes
that are possible with a two-pole switching matrix.
2.3.1 Single-ended switching
In the single-ended switching configuration, the source or
measure instrument is connected to the DUT through a sin-
gle pathway as shown in Figure 2-3. The closure of a single
crosspoint will connect an instrument to a DUT.
2.3.2 Differential switching
The differential or floating switching configuration is shown
in Figure 2-4. The advantage of using this configuration is
that the terminals of the source or measure instrument are not
