Section 3: Connections
The V-source can also be used be with the Electrometer to form the FVMI configuration as described
in
High-resistance meter connections
measurements and current measurements. For these measurements, V-source LO and ammeter
input LO can be connected internally through the METER-CONNECT option of the CONFIGURE V-
SOURCE menu.
The maximum common-mode voltage (the voltage between voltage source low and chassis
ground) is 750 V
V-source probes and cables
The following probe and cable sets are available from Keithley Instruments as options:
Model 8606 High Performance Probe Tip Kit: Consists of two spade lugs, two alligator clips, and
two spring hook test probes. (The spade lugs and alligator clips are rated at 30 V
the test probes are rated at 1000 V.) These components are designed to be used with high
performance test leads terminated with banana plugs, such as the Model 8607 Performance
Banana Cables.
Model 8607 High Performance Banana Cables: Consists of two high voltage (1000 V) banana
cables. The cables are terminated with banana plugs that have retractable sheaths.
Low-noise cables, shielding, and guarding
When making precision measurements, you should always use low noise cables and use proper
shielding and guarding techniques.
