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
terminal connections are triaxial. 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.
CAUTION
If you use the terminals on the rear panel for
connections, you must use the purple low-noise Keithley
Model TRX-1100V-
X
Three-Slot Triaxial Cables. Using the
incorrect cables could result in damage to the triaxial
connectors on the instrument.
For this example, you can make the connections with the
insulated banana cables that are supplied with the 2470, the
Keithley Instruments Model 8608 High Performance Test
Leads.
Make sure the front panel power switch is in the off (O)
position.
1. Connect the red lead to the FORCE HI connection.
2. Connect the black lead to the FORCE LO connection.
