16495H provides the inputs 7 to 12.
16495J provides the inputs 9 to 12.
b. To extend the four-terminal pair (4TP
) connection t
o the connector plate
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, Agi-
lent part number 1250-2405), then connect
them to the connecto
r plate inputs.
To extend the 4TP connection to the DUT interface, connect the cables to the
connector plates input connectors individually, and connect the Hcur and
Hpot terminals together and the Lcur and Lpot terminals together on the DUT
interface. See Figure 3-17.
It is ok to leave open the ground wire extended from the CMU cable.
