Application Connections; Front Panel Connections - HP 61010A Owner's Manual

Front Panel Connections
Before you make any connections on the front of your
instrument, you should already have connected your
instrument to the interface card, connected the Power Pack
and power cord, and set the address switch as explained
in Chapter 2 of your System Owner's Manual. It is also
recommended that you first try out your instrument as
described in Chapter 3 of this manual before you make
your application connections.
WARNING
To avoid potentially hazardous electrical shock, establish a safety
ground before making any front panel connections. Connect the
output cable from the Power Pack to the Digital I/O, and then
connect the line cord from the Power Pack to the ac line (refer to
Chapter 2 of the System Owner's Manual).

connector is used in the verification procedures discussed
