Step 4. Install the control cable between the External I/O connector on the rear panel of the MS462XC and the Control In connec- tor on the rear panel of the Test Set.

Step 5. Connect the GPIB cable from IEEE-488.2 connector on the rear panel of the MS462XC to the PC/System Controller. (Note: This cable is not supplied with the ME7840A PATS.)

Step 6. Connect an AC power cord to each of the three-prong connec- tors on the rear panel of the Test Set and the MS462XC.

Step 7. (Optional, for drain current PAE measurements) Connect the current probe cable BNC connector to the Ext. Analog In con- nector on the rear of the MS462XC as shown in Figure 2-4(page 2-5).
