The following figures show the physical connections for the front and rear panels. Note that you must
use either the front-panel terminals or rear-panel terminals — you cannot mix connections.
The figure below shows the front-panel connections. You can make these connections with four
insulated banana cables that are rated to the maximum current (7 A) such as two sets of the Keithley
Instruments Model 8608 High-Performance Clip Lead Set.
