below shows a typical system layout. Data traffic is
continuous.
To check ControlNet, ScopeMeter Channel A is on and
DC coupled. The recommended Banana to BNC Adapter
BB120 (1:1) allows Channel A to connect with BNC
cables. To connect to the System Under Test use a
PM9083 male BNC to dual Female BNC adapter (T-
piece, optional), and an extra BNC cable (PM9092,
optional) as shown in the figure below.
Bear in mind that in ControlNet cabling must not be
disconnected during normal process operation. Some
systems provide a Coaxial Breakout to make connection
to BB120. Use a short coaxial cable to minimize load on
to the system.
