Connection with Test Fixture
NOTE Shielding
The 16442B is quipped with the lid. To minimize the affect of ambient noise, close the lid when
performing the measurement.
NOTE Performing high voltage measurement
When the Digital I/O interlock terminal is open, the B2900A cannot apply high voltage over ±42 V.
To perform the high voltage measurement, the B2900A must be connected to the interlock circuit
installed in the 16442B.
Prepare the N1294A-011 or 012 interlock cable. And connect it between the B2900A Digital I/O
connector and the 16442B Interlock connector. The B2900A can apply the high voltage when the test
fixture lid is closed.
WARNING Potentially hazardous voltages of up to ±210 V may be present at the High Force,
High Sense, and Guard terminals when the 16442B test fixture lid is closed. To
prevent electrical shock, do not expose these lines.
