Series N6700 User's Guide
If you are using local sensing and are connecting multiple loads to
one output, connect each load to the output terminals using separate
connecting wires as shown in the following figure.

This minimizes mutual coupling effects and takes full advantage of
the power system's low output impedance. Keep each pair of wires as
short as possible and twist or bundle them to reduce lead inductance
and noise pickup.
Note that Agilent Models N678xA SMU have additional wiring
restrictions as discussed under "Agilent N678xA SMU Wiring
Requirements".
If load considerations require the use of distribution terminals that
are located away from the instrument, connect the output terminals
to the remote distribution terminals by a pair of twisted or bundled
wires. Connect each load to the distribution terminals separately.
Remote voltage sensing is recommended under these circumstances.
Sense either at the remote distribution terminals or, if one load is
more sensitive than the others, directly at the critical load.
