Model 2500 and 2502 User’s Manual Connections 2-7
Ground connect mode connections
The VOLTAGE SOURCE output jack for either channel can either be connected to chassis
ground or left floating, depending on the selected ground connect mode. (See Section 3,
“Ground connect mode,” for details.) With ground connect disabled, you must make sepa-
rate connections to the VOLTAGE SOURCE OUTPUT jack, as shown in Figure 2-3.
However, with ground connect enabled, you can bias and measure the DUT using a single
triax cable, as shown in Figure 2-5. Note that one DUT terminal is connected to INPUT
HI, while the other DUT terminal is connected to chassis ground through the outer shield
of the triax cable connection. Figure 2-6 shows an equivalent circuit.
