For the non-Kelvin connections, connect only the Force lines, leaving the Sense lines open.
Connect corresponding numbers. On the 16442A/B fixture use the numbers labeled 1 - 6, not 1 - 3.
Your B1500A may not match the SMU configuration shown in this figure. Note that SMU1 is the

shown.
This is the SMU cable setup that will be used in the remainder of the class exercises.
