To allow many parallel connections to one instrument, stack the connectors. Two screws are
located on each connector to ensure that connections remain secure.
Figure 11-2 shows a typical
connection scheme for a multi-unit test system.

To avoid possible mechanical damage, stack no more than three connectors on any one unit. To
minimize interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, use only shielded IEEE-488 cables.
Available shielded cables from Keithley Instruments are listed in
"Options and accessories" in
Section 1.
To connect the SourceMeter to the IEEE-488 bus, line up the cable connector with the connector
located on the rear panel. Install and tighten the screws securely, making sure not to overtighten
them (
Figure 11-3 shows the location of the connections).
