GAIN OF SR554 cables should be twisted together to prevent inductive pick-up. The actual gain of the SR554 is a function of the source impedance, frequency and For most experiments it is preferable to the set gain. In the bypass mode (x100), use the SR554 in the buffered mode.
Measurements made using the preamp in chassis (using a lug under one of the must be divided by the gain of the SR554. chassis screws) to the grounding lug of The actual gain can be obtained from the the SR554.
If a ground is not available LOCK-IN near the experiment, connect a wire to the The SR554 can be powered with an lock-in using a lug under one of the external power supply. Power is applied chassis screws.
