Step 2-2. Select the cable if you utilized an interlock circuit
The M9602A/M9603A is equipped with an interlock safety feature to protect against exposure to
voltages above a user-specified value. You can engage the safety lock using interlock pins on the
connector located at the front panel. Normally, these pins are routed to a shielding box or test fixture
that must be closed to complete the interlock circuit.
You can install an interlock circuit as shown in Figure 3. If your shielding box has a BNC connector for
the interlock circuit, you can use the PX0101A-001 or 002 BNC to ferrule terminal cable with a
connector-terminal block to connect the M96
02A/M9603A’s interlock pins to it. For more detailed
information, please refer to the Keysight M9602A/M9603A Startup Guide.
Step 2-3. Select the cables if you use an external trigger
There are trigger lines in the PXIe chassis available to synchronize the M9602A/M9603A with the other
PXIe modules. In addition, there are two external trigger lines available if you need to synchronize it with
an external instrument. You can use the PX0101A-001 or 002 BNC to ferrule terminal cable with a
connector-terminal bl
ock to connect the M9602A/M9603A’s external trigger lines to the external
instrument.
