With two Model 7036 cards installed in the mainframe, the 40 channels of each card will be displayed as shown in Figure 4-3. For the Model 7002, channel status LED grids are used for the ten slots.

Operation Measurement considerations Many measurements made with the Model 7036 are subject to various effects that can seriously affect low-level measure- ment accuracy. The following paragraphs discuss these effects and ways to minimize them. PATH Path isolation The path isolation is simply the equivalent impedance between any two test paths in a measurement system.
RFI can be minimized in several ways. The most obvious method is to keep the equipment and signal leads as far away Figure 4-9 from the RFI source as possible. Shielding the Model 7036 Power line ground loops switch card, signal leads, sources, and measuring instru- ments will often reduce RFI to an acceptable level.
