To Connect GNDU Adapter
The ground unit (GNDU) output is the single triaxial connector. Agilent
N1254A-100 GNDU to Kelvin Adapter enables to change it to the dual triaxial
connector. Connect the adapter to the GNDU connector on the rear panel, then
connect a Kelvin triaxial cable to extend the GNDU terminal. Maximum current is
restricted when the Kelvin triaxial cable is used. See Table 3-4.
