Model 2500 and 2502 User’s Manual Connections 2-9
Alternate connecting methods
Although the Model 2500 is designed primarily to bias and measure photodiodes in a laser
diode test system, it can also be used for stand-alone current measurements, or as a stand-
alone voltage source with any suitable device.
Current measurement connections
Figure 2-7 shows typical connections using channel 1 to measure the DUT current. Note
that the INPUT HI terminal (center conductor) is connected to DUT HI, while the INPUT
LO terminal (analog common) is connected to DUT LO.
