Digital channel signal fidelity: Probe impedance and grounding

When using the mixed- signal oscilloscope you may encounter problems 
that are related to probing. These problems fall into two categories: probe 
loading and probe grounding. Probe loading problems generally affect the 
device under test, while probe grounding problems affect the accuracy of 
the data to the measurement instrument. The design of the probes 
minimizes the first problem, while the second is easily addressed by good 
probing practices.
