3. LINE input receptacle
AC power cable is connected to this receptacle.
4. GPIB interface
Use an Agilent 82357A USB/GPIB interface or Agilent 10833A/B/C/D GPIB
cable to connect to an external computer or equipment.
5. Module slot
Ten slots are available for installing the modules. The B1500A can contain any
combination of modules.
Allowable number of modules installed in one mainframe (each/mainframe):
HPSMU 4, MPSMU 10, HRSMU 10, CMU 1, SPGU 5, WGFMU 5
If the B1500A contains the WGFMU, sum of Rating for all module types in the
mainframe must be < 60.
where Rating = Number of modules  Rating for each module type
Rating for each module type: HPSMU 14, MPSMU 2, HRSMU 2, CMU 7,
SPGU 12, WGFMU 10
For example, if the B1500A installs two HPSMU, one CMU, and two WGFMU,
the total rating is 214+7+210=55.
For each module, see "Measurement Units" on page 2-17. Also, there is a rule
for the installation order by the module type. See Chapter 3, "Installation."
6. Circuit Common (
Normally, connect the terminals together by using the shorting bar (Agilent part
number 5000-4206). For floating measurement, remove the shorting bar.
For floating measurement, do not apply voltage more than ±42 V to the Circuit
Common terminal. Failure to heed this caution may result in damage to the B1500A.
If the Circuit Common terminal is not connected to the frame ground terminal
(for floating measurement), a potential shock hazard may present. Do not
touch any of measurement circuit at any time while a floating measurement is
in progress.
