Inner
Panel
OUT test sockets should
be
mounted
on
a metal inner
panel.
By
insulating the inner panel from the test fixture
chassis, the panel can
be
connected to
guard
as
shown
in
Figure 2-8,
or
connected to
output
low
or
chassis. Con-
necting the inner panel to
guard
reduces effective capaci-
tance between the test fixture chassis
and
the OUT.
This
reduced capacitance
may

Interlock
When a normally-open,
SPST
momentary switch is
prop-
erly implemented as a safety interlock, the
Source

will
go into standby whenever the test fixture lid
is
open
or
ajar.
