Guards
Guard overview
The Model 622x provides two guards: Triax Cable Guard and banana jack Guard.
Cable Guard
– This guard provides a voltage that is at essentially the same
potential as Output High of the Model 622x. Guarding may greatly reduce leakage
current and capacitance in the test circuit. Effective guarding requires that the
triax Cable Guard configuration be used for the triax cable and a guard plate be
used for the Devide Under Test (DUT). For details on “
” refer to
.
Banana Jack Guard
– This guard is similar to cable guard in it provides a voltage
that is essentially the same potential as Output High (1mV accuracy, typical). This
guard should not be used to guard a triax cable. Rather, banana jack guard is
designed for use with a voltmeter to make measurements on a high-impedance
DUT. This guard serves as a x1 buffer amplifier to eliminate loading errors that
may occur as the impedance of the DUT approaches the voltmeter input imped-
ance. For details, see
“Banana Jack Guard,” on page 2-12
The differences between the two guards are summarized as follows:
