Abstract: A connection interface for connecting one or more devices under test (DUTs) to one or more remote test and measurement instruments includes a device-under-test connector for connecting a DUT to the interface, a host-instrument connector for connecting the interface to a host test and measurement instrument, and an electrical path between the device-under-test connector and the host-instrument connector. The connection interface also includes a display that has a first portion visually associated with the device-under-test connector and configured to display an identifier for a particular connection point on the DUT. In some embodiments, the first portion of the display is configured to display measurement data from the particular connection point on the DUT. In some embodiments, the display has a second portion that is configured to display information related to the host test and measurement instrument, or to display a name for a particular measurement of the DUT.

Abstract: A switch protection circuit includes a discharging circuit and, optionally, a clamping circuit. The discharge circuit operates prior to the switch completing the switching action to discharge capacitance from a signal line of a cable connected to a device under test to a ground voltage. When not discharging, the discharge circuit presents low leakage to a measurement circuit so as not to interfere with such measurement. If present, the clamping circuit clamps a signal line of the cable to a guard structure of the cable so that the discharge circuit can couple both the signal line and the guard structure to ground. The protection circuit operates without significantly worsening low current performance of the measurement instrument.

Abstract: Bias tees, according to certain embodiments of the present invention, include switches in the AC signal path, the DC signal path, or both, to improve the capability of the bias tees to be used for high impedance AC measurement, low current DC measurement, or both. Optical control of the switches, as well as control of the switches using a DC bias present within the AC signal input to the bias tee, is described. Including a set of diodes into the DC signal path, rather than a switch, provides enhanced capability of the bias tee to be used for high impedance AC measurements.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved two-cable connection system for connecting electrical test instrumentation to a device under test (DUT). In one embodiment, a single pair of equal-length triaxial cables each has a desired characteristic impedance. Each cable has a center connecter, intermediate conductor, and outer conductor. The proximal end of each cable is connected to the test instrumentation, and the distal ends are located at the DUT. At the distal end, the center conductors are connected to the DUT, the intermediate conductors are allowed to float, and the outer conductors are connected to each other. The proximal end of each cable is connected to the device using an appropriate connection for the test that will be performed. This allows the test instrumentation to perform different types of tests without changing connections to the DUT.
