Model 3760 typical applications
The 3760 can monitor high current from 10 different devices under test (DUT), switch a high-current
source to 10 separate DUTs, or connect multiple DUTs to multiple sources. For more information
about some typical applications and graphics showing typical configurations, refer to the Keithley
Instruments Switching Handbook. In some cases, multiple sources and measuring instruments are
connected to a single device. Switching allows automating the testing of multiple devices (for more
information about switching, go to the Keithley Instruments website
(http://www.tek.com/keithley) and
search for Switching Handbook).
Shielded application
This application is one channel at a time. Due to the possibility of high voltage, be sure to break one
connection before connecting another or the card could be damaged.
The measurement scheme shown in the next figure is used to make a shielded floating measurement
on up to 10 DUTs with one multimeter. The guard traces are used as shield, so they are connected to
the multimeter's LO. If both GUARD pins cannot be kept at the same potential, do not use the guard
as a shield.
