Determining whether to use front or rear terminals
Both front and rear terminals are banana-jack connectors to the device under test.
The rear terminals allow for current up to 10 A. The front-panel terminals allow for current up to only
3 A.
Otherwise, you can make your DUT connections from either the front or rear panel based on
convenience. For example, the front connections may work better for benchtop applications that
require frequent connection changes. The rear connections may work better for rack applications with
fewer changes.
Setting the instrument to use the front or rear terminals
The selection to use the front or rear terminals must be made using the front-panel switch. There are
no remote commands that can be used to set the terminals.
Using the front panel:
Press the
TERMINALS FRONT/REAR
switch.
When F is lit, the instrument reads from the front-panel terminals. When R is lit, the instrument reads
from the rear-panel terminals.
DMM measurement overview
This section describes the connections and basics of making the measurements for each function.
The measurement overview presented here assumes that the measurement method is set to
Continuous Measurement (the default). Select the trigger mode indicator to change the
measurement method to Continuous, if necessary.
