Simplified schematic for Model 7701
Although the Model 7701 relays are the latching type (relays hold their state even after power has been
removed), all relay states are set to open a few seconds after either a power cycle or an *RST command
is issued.
System channel operation (
ROUT:CLOS
command) is used to close measurement channels to connect a
DUT to the DMM. With a 2-wire function selected (i.e., DCV), system channels 1 through 32 can be
closed. When one of these channels is closed, channel 35 automatically closes to connect the channel to
the DMM Input.
With a 4-wire function selected (i.e.,
Ω
4), system channels 1 through 16 can be closed. These 16 chan-
nels are paired to channels 17 through 32 (channel 1 paired to channel 17, channel 2 paired to channel
18, and so on). When one of these system channels is closed, its paired channel, and channels 33 and 34
also close to connect the DUT to the DMM.

The Model 7701 is rated for low-voltage applications.
When connecting the 7701 to the internal DMM via
the screw terminals, all other modules in the mainframe
must be derated to 150VDC or 150Vrms (212V peak)
for AC waveforms.

Channels 33–35 in this schematic refer to the designations used for
control and not actual available channels.
Channels 33, 34, and 35 can be individually controlled using multiple
channel operation (ROUT:MULT commands). For more information,
see Section 2 of the Model 2700 or 2750 User’s Manual.
