Integrating With A Model 3706A-S Test - Tektronix Keithley DMM7510 User Manual

Section 9: Integrating with a Model 3706A-S using TSP-Link
To prevent electric shock, test connections must be configured such that the user cannot
come in contact with test leads or any device under test (DUT) that is in contact with the
conductors. It is good practice to disconnect power before connecting DUTs. Safe installation
requires proper shields, barriers, and grounding to prevent contact with test leads.
There is no internal connection between protective earth (safety ground) and the LO
terminals of the DMM7510. Therefore, hazardous voltages (more than 30 V
LO terminals. This can occur when the instrument is operating in any mode. To prevent
hazardous voltage from appearing on the LO terminals, connect the LO terminal to protective
earth (safety ground) if your application allows it. You can connect the LO terminal to the
chassis ground terminal on the front panel or the chassis ground screw terminal on the rear
panel. Note that the front-panel terminals are isolated from the rear-panel terminals.
Therefore, if you are using the front-panel terminals, ground to the front-panel LO terminal. If
using the rear-panel terminals, ground to the rear-panel LO terminal. Failure to follow these
guidelines can result in injury, death, or instrument damage. Failure to recognize and observe
normal safety precautions could result in personal injury or death.

Integrating with a Model 3706A-S test

For this application, you will:
•
Make sure that the TSP-Link node for the 3706A-S is set to 1.
•
Connect the computer to the DMM7510.
•
Reset the instruments.
•
Initialize TSP-Link.
•
Configure the DMM7510 input and output TSP-Link triggers.
•
Create a configuration list in the DMM7510 that contains measure settings for DC voltage, AC
voltage, and 4-wire-resistance.
•
Configure the 3706A-S input and output TSP-Link triggers.
•
Create a scan list on the 3706A-S.
•
Create a trigger model on the DMM7510 that interacts with the 3706A-S trigger model through
the predefined measure functions for the number of channels.
•
Initiate scanning and measurement on the DMM7510 and 3706A-S.
