Installation
Connecting Measurement Devices
CAUTION Never connect the guard terminal to any other output, including circuit common,
frame ground, or the terminals of any other measurement resource. Doing so may
damage it.
Guarding
Guarding reduces the leakage current between the measurement points and
instrument. This is important when you measure low current.
The following figure shows the theory of guarding. The buffer amplifier (1) keeps
the potential of the guard conductor at the same potential as the force conductor, so
current does not flow between the force and guard conductors. Therefore, the
current measured by SMU is same as current at measurement point because no
current is leaked.
