See the instructions provided with the fixture for operating details.
2.4 Connecting the Measurement
Cables, Probes, or Fixture
• Basically, when you make a probe yourself, it may not be able to satisfy the specifications
of this instrument.
See: "Options" (p. 393)
• If all four terminals are disconnected, a meaningless number may be displayed on the
unit.
• If all four terminals are disconnected, a measurement signal and DC voltage of 6 V may
be generated at the H
POT
terminal, and a DC voltage of 6 V at the L
POT
terminal.
Connecting a measurement cable/fixture
Connect directly to the measurement jacks with
the label side up, and affix with the levers on the
left and right.
Points to pay attention to when making your own probe
• Use 50 coaxial cable for the measurement cable.
• Ensure that the length of the cable is the same as that set for the instrument.
• Make the portion of the core wire that is exposed as short as possible.
• Connect the H
CUR
, L
CUR
, H
POT
, and L
POT
shield pairs at the measurement object side.
(Ensure that a shield is not connected to a core wire.)
