Set up remote communications
This application is configured to run remotely. You can run this application from any of the supported
communication interfaces for the instrument (GPIB, USB, or ethernet).
The following figure shows the rear-panel connection locations for the remote communication
interfaces. For additional information about how to set up remote communications, see
(on page 3-1).

Device connections
For best measurement accuracy and to eliminate the effects of test lead resistance when sourcing
high current, connect the Model 2460 to the device under test (DUT) using the 4-wire sense method.
To use the 4-wire sense connection method:
•
Connect the FORCE HI and SENSE HI leads to one end of the DUT.
•
Connect the FORCE LO and SENSE LO leads to the other end of the DUT.
•
Make the connections as close the DUT as possible to exclude the test-lead resistance from the
measurement.
The following figure shows the schematic for outputting high-current pulses to a resistor.
