Agilent B1500 User’s Guide, Edition 7 3- 41
Installation
Connecting Measurement Devices
Using Test Fixture
1. Press the Stop key to set the module output off.
2. Select a proper socket module for your DUT, then set the socket module on the
test fixt
ure.
3. Mount your DUT on the socket module.
4. Connect between the socket module and the test fixture by using the proper test
leads.
5. Close
the lid of the test fixture.
To force more than ± 42 V, close the lid of the tes
t fixture. Otherwise, the
interlock function will stop Agilent B1500A output.
To connect between the socket module and the test fixt
ure, you can use test leads
that have the following terminals:
• Miniature banana-to-miniature banana
• Miniature banana-to-pin plug
• Miniature banana-to-miniature clip
CAUTION Do not connect or disconnect your DUT while Agilent B1500A is forcing voltage or
current. Otherwise, your DUT may be damaged.
CAUTION Do not touch the terminals of the test leads. Oil, perspiration, and dirt prevent good
electrical contact, deteriorate insulation, and degrade measurement accuracy.
