Introduction
You can use the Model 2651A High Power System SourceMeter
®
Instrument to make basic
measurements from the front panel. In this example, measurements are made on a 10 k
Ω
resistor.
Similar measurements can be made on any two-terminal device under test (DUT) if appropriate
source values are used.
Equipment needed for this example
To run this example, you will need the following equipment:
•
Model 2651A High Power System SourceMeter
®
Instrument
•
Additional cable and connector assemblies as required to make connections to the DUT (for
example, Model 2651A-KIT). See
(on page 4-1) for a schematic of required
connections.
Device connections
Connections from the Model 2651A High Power System SourceMeter

Instrument to the DUT are
shown in the diagram below. Proper care should be taken to ensure good contact through all
connections.
