To Connect 16442B Test Fixture
See this section if you use Agilent 16442B Test Fixture. This section describes how
to set up the 16442B and how to connect the B1500A to the 16442B.
To Set up 16442B
You can stabilize the 16442B as shown in the figure below.
1. Put a stabilizer on both sides of the test fixture.
2. Attach each stabilizer to the unit with a flath
ead screw.
To Connect 16442B
Use the cables shown in Table 3-1 to connect from the B1500A connectors to the
16442B’s relative connectors.
NOTE Making non-Kelvin connection
The Force terminals can be used to force and measure DC voltage or current. If you
want to simplify the cable connections, open the Sense terminals and connect the
Force terminals only to the test fixture by using the triaxial cables.
If you make the Kelvin connection, use both Force and Sense terminals. Connecting
the Force and Sense
lines together at the terminal of the device under test minimizes
the measurement error caused by the residual resistance of the connection cables.
The Kelvin connection is effective for the low resistance measurement and the high
current measurement.
