Connection example for measurements
Key Points in the Operation and Setting
• Transferring the pattern files and measurement result data files using the USB storage
function: See section 6.6, “Program Pattern File” and 4.3, “USB Storage Function.”
• Saving the measurement result data using the storage function: See section 9.1,
“Storing the Measured Results.”
Connection Procedure
1.
Connect the first GS610 between the collector and the emitter of the transistor.
2.
Connect the second GS610 between the base and the emitter of the transistor.
3.
Connect the first GS610 to a PC using the USB cable.
