Guarding
A driven guard is always enabled and provides a buffered voltage that is at the same level as the
input/output HI voltage. The purpose of guarding is to eliminate the effects of leakage current (and
capacitance) that can exist between HI and LO. Without guarding, leakage and capacitance in the
external high-impedance test circuit could be high enough to adversely effect the performance of the
Series 2600B.
Guarding (shown below) should be used when test circuit impedance is >1 GΩ.
