Model 2636A, two SMUs connected to a 3-terminal device (local sensing, floating)
Figure 2-15 shows how to use three SMUs to test the same 3-terminal device. The third SMU is
connected to the source (S) terminal of the JFET. This allows the source terminal to be biased
above signal low. Setting this SMU to output 0V effectively connects the source terminal of the
JFET to signal low.
