2-wire remote sensing
For 2-wire local sense connections, coaxial tees are required to adapt dual BNC cables to single BNC
cables, as shown in the following figure.

GPIB connections
The 4200A-SCS controls the Model 4284A or 4980A through the General Purpose Interface Bus
(GPIB). Use the Keithley 7007-1 or 7007-2 GPIB cable to connect the GPIB port of the Model 4284A
or 4980A to the GPIB port of the 4200A-SCS.
Using KCon to add a Keysight LCR Meter to the system
To use the 4200A-SCS to control an external instrument, you must add the instrument to the 4200A-
SCS system configuration. You use Keithley Configuration Utility (KCon) to add the Keysight Model
4284A or 4980A to the test system.
Refer to
Using KCon to add equipment to the 4200A-SCS
(on page 7-7) for instruction.
For additional details on KCon, refer to
Keithley Configuration Utility
(on page 7-1).
