Connections
WARNING
Make sure the V-Source is in standby (VOLTAGE SOURCE
OPERATE indicator off) before making or breaking connections to the
Model 6517A.
Test sequences use the force voltage measure current (FVMI) technique as shown in
Figure 2-7. This connection scheme assumes that V-Source LO is internally connected to
ammeter LO. This connection is controlled from the METER CONNECT option of the
CONFIGURE V-SOURCE menu (see V-Source). Note that Figure 2-7 does not meet the
exact connection requirements for all the tests. It is only intended to show the general con-
cept. More specific connection diagrams are provided in the User’s Manual.
