INTRODUCTION
This
section contains
the
detailed information
to
operate
the Source Measure
Unit.
Generally,
the
information
is
presented
in
a sequence
that
the
unit
would
most
likely
be
used. Along
with
front
panel
operation, abbreviated
information for
using
it
over
the
IEEE-488
bus
is
also pro-
vided. Detailed IEEE-488
bus
operation
is
covered
in
Sec-
tion 3 of this manual.
The
information
in
this section
is
divided
into four parts:
connections, operating fundamentals,
sweep
operation,
and
source-measure considerations.

2.3 Basic
Test
Connections: Covers the basic informa-
tion for connecting a
Source
Measure
Unit
to

in
a test fixture.
2.4
Multi
Unit
Connections: Connection requirements
when
using
two
or
more
units
in
