A safety shield is advisable whenever measurements are being made
with voltages over 30V DC. Connections for the safety shield are
shown in Figure
the noise shield or floating test circuit and it must be connected to
safety earth ground using #18 AWG or larger wire.
Do not connect external sources to the 6487 voltage source. External
sources may damage the 6487 voltage source.
