Once all arbitrary points have been created, the created
signal can be transferred to the instrument via interface by
using the menu item TRANSFER. The menu TRANSFER
opens and allows you to select the respective HMC chan-
nel and the repetitions.

Additionally, you can activate the output to issue the signal
directly at the output and to view it on an oscilloscope, for
instance (see fig. 5.10).

The terminal connector on the back panel of the instru-
ment allows you to execute the voltages / currents of all
channels (including SENSE).
The 16-pole terminal block includes the following connec-
tors for each channel:
❙ P+ (corresponds to + socket on the front panel)
❙ P- (corresponds to - socket on the front panel)
❙ S+ and S- (SENSE connectors)
❙ U+, U-, I+, I- (voltage/current interface) + Trigger
To connect lines, you have the option to purchase and use
the plug-in terminal block connector HZC40. This allows
for the easy integration into 19`` rack systems (please refer
to fig. 6.2). The terminal block connector will be supplied
without cable.
The SENSE lines (only available on the back panel for the
R&S®HMC8042 and R&S®HMC8043) allow you to com-
pensate voltage drops on the supply lines to the load so
that the actual selected voltage is applied to the load. The
instrument automatically detects when the SENSE lines
are connected and it regulates the output voltage directly
at the load. If the SENSE lines are connected via S+ and
S-, the display shows SENSE. The maximum compensa-
tion value of the lead resistances is 1V.

To install a 19" rack, you can use the rack mount set
HZC95. When one or more R&S®HMC804x instruments
are installed in a 19" rack, it is important to ensure that
