FORCE and SENSE connectors
You make connections from the instrument to the device under test (DUT) using the BNC connections
on the 2601B-P-INT.
The FORCE HI, FORCE LO, and SENSE HI connectors of the 2601B-P-INT have GUARD on the
shell. The SENSE LO connector has FORCE LO on the shell.

The FORCE LO shell connection is for shielding only and should not be used to carry signal. Use the
center pin of the FORCE LO connector to carry signal.
