When you are sourcing voltage in 4-wire remote sense, connect the sense leads to the DUT. If a
sense lead is disconnected, the instrument senses 0 V, which causes it to increase the output
voltage to compensate. To further protect against overvoltage situations, you can set overvoltage
protection. See Overvoltage protection (on page 4-34
) for more information.

Always connect the sense lines as close as possible to the device under test.
