a. To extend the four-terminal pair (4TP) connection to the 16442B inputs,
connect the Hcur and Hpot cables together and the Lcur and Lpot cables
together by using the BNC T-type adapter (female-female-male, Agilent
part number 1250-2405), then connect them to the 16442B inputs.
To extend the 4TP connection to the socket module inputs, connect the
cab
les to the PGU1, PGU
2, VSU1, VSU2, VMU1, or VMU2 connector
individually, and connect the Hcur and Hpot terminals together and the
Lcur and Lpot terminals together at the socket module inputs.
It is ok to leave open the ground wire extended from the CMU cable.
