Model 6487 Reference Manual Measurements and Sourcing Voltage 3-17
Step 2. Connect the load to the source output
Basic connections for sourcing voltage are shown in Figure 3-4.
t^okfkd A safety shield is advisable whenever measurements are being made
with voltages over 30V DC. Connections for the safety shield are
shown in Figure 3-4. The metal safety shield must completely surround
the noise shield or floating test circuit and it must be connected to
safety earth ground using #18 AWG or larger wire.
Step 3. Turn on voltage source
Press the OPER key to turn on the voltage source output. The VOLTAGE SOURCE
OPERATE indicator will turn on.
`^rqflk Do not connect external sources to the 6487 voltage source. External
sources may damage the 6487 voltage source.
